As a consequence of Brexit, physical infrastructure will be required for customs, SPS and health checks and controls at Dublin Port, Rosslare Europort and Dublin Airport.
The Office of Public Works on behalf of the Revenue Commissioners; the Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine; the Department of Health; and the Department of Transport, Tourism & Sport has been developing infrastructure in these ports and airports for the past 18 months.
In the lead up to the end of the January 2020 Brexit deadline, arrangements were finalised to ensure that sufficient infrastructure was in place in Dublin Port, Rosslare Europort and Dublin Airport to provide an emergency response to a no-deal Brexit. Since then work has continued to develop further this infrastructure to ensure that facilities will be in place regardless of the manner of the UK withdrawal.
