This is about the government not keeping its promises to the electorate. Something which shouldn't be brushed under the carpet.

I'm sure Ireland like the UK has plans for flying in medicines if there's port delays. A new direct ferry service to Europe should also help matters.

Ireland like the UK will suffer from no-deal. But it will be helped by the EU. We will apparently bailing out our industries too by adding to our country's massive debt mountain.

What reduction? There are several sources of government funding, just as there were several sources of EU funding. They seem to be expecting to simply be given a lump sum to do with as they please.
If they are so poverty stricken after all the money that has poured in, that clearly demonstrates that pouring more money in won't achieve anything. Nothing big in the way of industry could operate there because of the geography of the county.
Stena Line offers 28
daily sailings from UK to Ireland, Irish Ferries 6 sailings, against 7 ferry crossings per WEEK from France to Ireland, taking 18hrs or more each way. Bit of a difference.
