I have read of cases in Germany. I know at the moment in Galway Harbour this problem is causing tremendous difficulty. Considerable taxpayers' money is being spent on ludicrous legislation that has come through from Europe and it is costing jobs. Ms McCaffrey referred to Dublin Port growing to twice its current size. I have studied the issue around Ireland and I have seen what has happened in Germany. In Germany, if someone does something that could have an effect later on, progress has been stopped at certain ports. Does Ms McCaffrey see this as a problem in future?
