(Revenue is putting 30 of the extra 600 officials it is hiring for Brexit into Rosslare.) It’s all part of the Government’s plan to designate Rosslare as another of the State’s border inspection posts, along with Dublin Port. After Dublin, Rosslare is the second-busiest Irish port for “roll-on, roll-off” (“ro-ro”) lorry traffic. ‘Gateway into Europe’Carr sees Rosslare becoming Ireland’s “gateway into Europe” for direct services given that it is the closest Irish port to mainland Europe. Carr says the investment is coming; regardless of Brexit, there were plans to invest €25 million in the port.
