The bulk of Irish goods go through the tunnel - Ireland now has the wherewithal to deliver in Europe more cheaply by sea should the borders close -
The difference of sea and land times is made up by the fact that drivers will no longer have to waste time and money with accommodation and will be able to sleep while travelling
The main problem will have been avoided as there need by no delays caused by border bureaucracy
Ireland has thought out the problems of a hard Brexit, Britain has not even made up its mind how it is to exit - then they will, ahve to start planning

"Unfocused waffle.Do you ever check anything?"
If youu have no self control or self respect, can you not at least give a thought to your few mates here
The picture you present of Brexiteers is a bunch of mindless bullying thugs who, whenever faced with a difficult question, opt for hurling personal abuse
The fact that you do so conscious of the fact that you risk no comebacks because you do so from the safety of distance of anonymity and distance makes you a spineless coward
You wouldn't dare abuse people to their faces the way you do here - you know damn well that they would either laugh at you are punch you - hardly the behavior of a patriotic hero !!
It is totally beyond me why mods continue to close threads (like the one you and your mates closed recently) yet allow you to strut and bully towards fellow members - if they got rid of your mates for similar behaviour, why not you?
It seems that Mudcat's requirements that members are civil to each other don't apply to some people
