I will pose a few questions myself before reverting to the delegates. We all welcomed the announcement of the development of Dublin Airport as a new hub for trans-global flights. Where does Brexit leave the airport in terms of its ability to compete with the likes of Heathrow Airport?

In terms of freight transport, my colleague, Senator Paul Daly, has already referred to roll-on, roll-off operations.

If we were to develop deep sea ports in Waterford and Cork for direct access to the European Union and the Continent, what sort of competitive advantage or disadvantage would it place members of Freight Transport Association Ireland at? Is it likely to cause them more trouble than taking the land bridge route? Mr. Flynn spoke about goods depreciating or suffering from being too long on the road.
