Trade Strategy
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-12
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I attended a webinar last Friday, which was addressed by the Minister, and this was, understandably, one of the significant issues that came up for discussion. I welcome the Minister of State's further elaborations in that regard.
Where are we at in terms of preparations for the checks and controls that will be required on our side, including the three-step process? What action has been taken to ensure hauliers are familiar with those processes in advance of 1 January next year? What engagement has the Minister of State had with counterparts in the North on an all-Ireland approach to these issues? There is a significant haulage industry and a significant port industry in the North.
