Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate
1:30 pm
Mr. David McGarry:
The priority would be bulk. It is largely a bulk port and handles more than 60% of the bulk coming into the State. As chairperson, that is the first priority. Because of Brexit there are opportunities for containers using it as a substitute, instead of using the UK land-bridge to Europe. Foynes could be adapted for containers, but it is not a container port today.
