The recent triggering of article 50 signalling the exit by the United Kingdom from the European Union has sparked a flurry of activity from concrete supplies in the border region.
With many commentators speculating on the practical implications of a “hard brexit”, entrepreneurial concrete suppliers such as O Reilly Concrete are preparing for the reality of a 20m high border wall which will run from Donegal to Armagh.
Large scale concrete batching plants last seen on the same scale in East Germany for the construction of the Berlin Wall are being planned in Kingscourt to facilitate construction.
Plans are in place to ensure the wall is complete by 2018 when U.S. president Donald Tump will travel to Ireland officially close the border using the presidential seal.
