Brexit's effect on trade and transportation to and from Ireland is clearly illustrated via the comparison of the annual results of Ireland's Rosslare port with those of Holyhead in Wales. Rosslare has thriven due to the changes, with freight traffic up by 50% thanks to the creation of 24 direct routes to mainland Europe being created since 2020. At the same time, the port of Holyhead has seen a 30% fall in year-on-year traffic.
