Ministers criticise Shane Ross over suggestion of Border checks
Minister for Transport’s Brexit remarks were ‘as if he didn’t even read his own documents’
Minister for Transport Shane Ross. A Minister said Mr Ross’s public performance was not surprising given that he did not seem ‘up to speed’ on Brexit preparations in his own portfolio.
Ministers have been privately scathing about the performance of Minister for Transport Shane Ross at a press conference this week where he suggested that checks would be needed on the Border after Brexit.
Mr Ross attended the press conference with Tánaiste Simon Coveney and Minister for Health Simon Harris on the Government’s no-deal planning.
