I came across this story from a couple of weeks ago, the stats that jumped out at me;
'Some 150,000 Irish lorries use the land bridge every year. About 40 per cent of Irish exports and 13 per cent of imports, in value and volume terms, pass over the key transit route every year.
More than 80 per cent of one million “roll-on, roll-off” lorries using Irish ports every year go through UK ports, with the remainder going on direct routes to continental Europe.'
This isn't something I've seen a great deal of discussion about in the press.
