I also wish Mr. Whelan the best in his new role. There is potential for a round-Ireland cruise, stopping at the various ports around the coast, including Waterford. Perhaps this is something that Mr. Whelan could keep in mind, along with colleagues from the other ports. Cruise liners coming in from different parts of Europe are certainly welcome, but we have a beautiful coastline, which could be showcased in an exclusively Irish cruise. I am not aware of any company that is doing that at the moment, and it is something that could benefit all the ports and coastal areas.
