Mr. Lawlor is making a comeback to the board. Is it fair to ask why he broke his service on the board?

Being 14 miles inland must be a disadvantage for an importer. As he stated that New Ross is tidal, does that mean a ship can come and go at any time and need not wait three or six hours for the tide to come and go? Am I correct in assuming this tidal port has advantages in terms of unloading onto trucks for delivery to Dublin in a hour and a half? What are the advantages of a port being tidal?
