Tourism is of paramount importance, particularly in light of Brexit and so on. Although I have never been on a cruise, more and more people are going on them. In the document furnished to the committee, Dublin Port argues that new berths would have to be constructed at the North Wall quay extension to cater for large numbers of cruise ships, such as more than 200. That would require co-financing and-or long-term financial guarantees from cruise lines. Has that been formally put to the witnesses in any shape or form? What are their thoughts on it?
