Ms Eithne Scott-Lennon:

Competition is healthy but we need to be realistic. I would hope that Dublin Port, Dún Laoghaire Harbour and the powers that be would be realistic in their planning and their location of cruise facilities and where we handle heavy industrial lo-lo and ro-ro type ferries - it makes sense. However, that is not my remit. As chair of Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company, I will work hard on relationships with the various parties in Dublin Bay. It would only make sense for us all to work together for the better.
