Ireland France Freight link Avoids Brexit Britain
Irish Times report here on the first Rosslare-Dunkirk freight sealink designed so Irish trucking forms can evade post Brexit chaos in the UK. A number of other direct services are planned:
“With his lorry decked out with Irish, French and EU flags, truck driver John Carroll was among the first to alight from the maiden DFDS direct sailing from Rosslare Europort in Co Wexford to Dunkirk in northern France.
The service, which is to run six times a week with each crossing taking about 24 hours, was introduced after Brexit took effect. This makes it a longer journey for hauliers but it means they do not have to make customs declarations or face additional checks and inspections crossing from Britain to the UK.
Any potential case would fail or succeed on the basis of a breach of human rights being argued and those rights are set out in the European Convention on Human Rights, a Council of Europe document.
The 47 Nation Council of Europe enforces the implementation of ‘rights’ in respect of prisoners via the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT).
The CPT were off the mark fairly early in the Covid-19 outbreak and issued guidance to all governments (in March 2019) within their purview. Its at this link:
Did Jenkins Give NATO a ‘Headache’ That Lasted Long After His Imprisonment?
A lot will be written after the death of Welsh nationalist, John Barnard Jenkins, and it’s fair to say that his legacy and that of MAC will be remembered mainly in terms of the attack on the 1969 investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales.
However it is perhaps one of the last actions of MAC which will have given the British Government and certainly its Ministry of Defence even greater concern. This was the attack in 1969 on the South Stack communications relay station on Anglesey critical to communications to the Republic of Ireland but which also carried communications to the MOD and its installations in the six counties.
Bombing of Irish Lights Vessel Remembered
The Irish Lights Service provides an invaluable safety network for mariners all around Ireland. This weekend they have been remembering the loss of the Irish Lights vessels ‘Isolda’ 80 years ago.
Although Ireland was neutral at the time and the ship was clearly marked as a LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE vessel it was bombed and sunk by a German Luftwaffe FW200 aircraft on December 19th 1940.
As part of the commemoration the current Irish Lights vessel ‘Granuaile’ laid a wreath at sea to commemorate the six crewmen who lost their lives.
