Mr. Lorcan O'Connor:

I would love Cobh to get extra cruise liners. I would love Belfast also to get cruise liners. We are trading in both locations and know the situation. The worry for us is that Cork and Belfast are very small tight knit cities, so when a cruise ship comes in with 3,500 people and they arrive into the middle of Cork, or Belfast it is significant, whereas the passengers arriving in Dublin are dispersed so it is not as obvious when a cruise ship arrives in port. It is substantial business in Dublin but I would definitely say that in Cork and Belfast businesses will close once this happens because it is such a game changer when a ship comes in. It is 3,500 people arriving on your doorstep and in the smaller cities it will have a much greater impact.
