Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
All-Ireland Cruise Ship Action Group: Discussion
Imelda Munster (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Given the unanswered questions and the importance of this issue and everything that is at stake and in light of the fact that the Minister is on the board of the Dublin Port Company, I suggest that the committee write to the Minister requesting that he ask the CEO of Dublin Port to meet the action group, which is representative of all of the affected parties. I also suggest that the committee ask that the feasibility of possible alternatives be examined. If there are alternatives which would prevent the scenario described and address the concerns raised, these should be examined. I propose that the committee write to the Minister seeking clarity and answers and requesting that he examine all the alternatives. These may not be feasible or practical but they should be examined with the CEO of Dublin Port. There does not appear to be any engagement with this group.
