I welcome both speakers here today. I am familiar with the area of Newry, Warrenpoint and Rostrevor and the area of Omeath and Carlingford. A bridge is a wonderful idea and would be phenomenal for both counties from a tourism point of view. I imagine that securing funding for the project would be a huge undertaking. I hope my following suggestion will not cause trouble. While the money is being raised is it possible to provide a small car ferry? I know about a car ferry in Cork that works very well. Is a car ferry a good idea from a tourism point of view?
