Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate
1:30 pm
Mr. David McGarry:
Yes. It is a bulk cargo port. It has recovered to exceed the peak in 2008. The Deputy also asked about containers. The port is not a container port but it could be in future. As Brexit comes along, there may be opportunities to convert to a containerised port. The investments of this year, and those to come next year, could be adapted to this purpose.
