There are 1,000 trucks a day leaving Dublin Port and using the landbridge. If 80% use the landbridge to get to mainland Europe, that amounts to 800 trucks a day or 4,000 a week. Only 750 trucks are leaving from Rosslare to travel to mainland Europe. How will we increase capacity from 750 trucks a week to in excess of 4,000? That capacity could potentially be needed. The Minister keeps referring to the W.B. Yeats, but one ship will not be able to provide it. What is its capacity?
