"The additional Time at sea and escalated costs will only impact the Irish. "
No extra time involved - goods are at present carried by road through Britain and through the Channel Tunnel
A sea journey without barriers can't possibly take that long - Ireland has already equipped itself with a number of giant transport ships in preparation for Brexit (and Britain still has no plans whatever as to what they intend to do when and if they leave) - economic and social insanity
Beside the point anyway
Fishguard depends greatly on commercial trade passing through to and from from Ireland - that gone, do is a large slice of their income
Nice way to stat to "stand on our own two feet"

Another possible victim of the economic uncertain future of Belfast's Harland and Woolf which is being put up for sale by its Norwegian parent company
If, say, the Japanese decide to buy it up and close it as a competitor, that will be the end of the British shipbuilding and repair industry - another giant leap into Brexit's Brave New World
