A three-hectare yard at Dublin Port has been given over to the Department of Agriculture to carry out sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) checks on all food or products of animal origin after Brexit. Dublin Port has invested €30m in Brexit preparations, including building a new primary border inspection post that will be used for initial customs checks.
Any freight coming from the UK that contains food or animal byproducts will have to pass through the Department of Agriculture yard for SPS checks. Some goods will also have to be opened for physical examination and testing.

Dublin Port CEO Eamonn O’Reilly told the Irish Farmers Journal: “Over 850,000 cargo units are imported from the UK every year through Dublin Port and much of this is food.”
