Such tunnels would be a prime target for IRA Terrorists.
Keep the Snakes out of Ireland
If its a bridge, how high would it have to be? LOTS of traffic going through there.
Some lotto winner should buy land in Holyhead England.
Must have been planned by the same people who designed the California bullet train. Pay more and take 10 times as long as flying, plus trillions of government money to build and run it. Liberals and their obsession with passenger trains.
I had never realized Ireland and Scotland were so close together. Ireland is actually closer than some of the Outer Hebrides.

Just wondering, how deep is the water in these locations?
What’s max water depth?
That and sea conditions matter more than length...concrete bridge spans like Ponchatrain or Seven Mile are not pricey
The sea, O the sea, a gradh gheal mo chroidhe.
Oh long may you roll between England and me,
God help the poor Scotsmen - they’ll never be free
But we’re entirely surrounded by Water!

I think a tunnel would make more sense than a bridge here, and I think I just might live to see this happen. Who but a small minority thought the Channel tunnel would become a reality? But I expect it’s more likely to be to Dublin than to Belfast.
