Rosslare Europort will experience capacity issues from tomorrow (Sunday) and significant delays are expected once the port reopens.
Protesters have set up a blockade at Kilrane, which is approximately a mile from Rosslare Europort This is in place since early Thursday morning.
Only passenger traffic is currently being permitted to pass through.
For a period yesterday accompanied pharmaceutical freight was permitted through, but that has now stopped also since yesterday afternoon.
There is currently about a mile of a tail back of trucks.
Iarnróid Éireann announced today: “We expect challenges soon, as two ships will arrive tomorrow or early Monday. Once unloaded, we will have no additional capacity.
“We will then have to turn ships back to wait on anchor out from the port or advise to go to an alternative port.
“Once the blockades are lifted, it will take some time to get the port cleared before we can take any more freight in and the port may need to put restrictions on capacity during this time,” stated Iarnród Éireann.
