Britain will control what happens to Rosslare Port after Brexit unless the Government immediately acts, a Fianna Fáil TD has warned. Transport Minister Shane Ross has come under fire for failing to bring Rosslare harbour — which is owned by a British company set up under UK statute — under full control of the State. The port was established under the Rosslare Fishguard Harbours Company 1898 by UK statutory instrument. Under this act, the British government delegated control of Rosslare to Iarnróid Eireann and Fishguard in Wales comes under the control of Stena Line. “I am absolutely calling on Mr Ross to intervene to solve the ownership problem,” said Mr Browne.
