The Freight Transport Association has repeated its call for an Irish border solution which protects frictionless trading arrangements after Brexit.
In discussions with MPs at Stormont, the FTA’s Northern Ireland policy manager Seamus Leheny stressed that the association’s members need trade to continue to flow freely across the border, to ensure that business can be supported on both sides of the border.
“Logistics operators are clear that the Irish border must remain frictionless after Brexit, to ensure that trading relationships are protected and business can continue to flourish,” Mr Leheny says. “This weekend’s meeting gave us the chance to share the concerns of the freight and logistics sector with ministers, who were open to possible solutions which would protect the integrity of Ireland’s businesses, as well as its borders.”
