RHA responds to EES roll-out delay

Commenting on the confirmation of the delay to the roll-out of the Entry/Exit system (EES), RHA Director of Public Affairs & Policy Declan Pang said:

"We welcome this delay to EES and continue to seek clarity and further information from Government on EES processes, timelines and readiness.

Our members have long-warned that the system needs to be fully tested before activation to ensure that it can cope with peak traffic flows.
It's vital that we get these processes right, especially at ports where thousands of vehicles pass through daily.

"We know the knock-on impact that disruption and delays can cause and we'll continue to engage with officials and ports to ensure that all infrastructure is ready, updated and secure before the eventual full roll-out."
