Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
All-Ireland Cruise Ship Action Group: Discussion
Mr. Lorcan O'Connor:
If I genuinely believed that Dublin Port wanted to stick to that plan and go for it, I would not be here. The problem is that there are conflicting documents coming from Dublin Port. They can be downloaded from the website; they are public documents. Dublin Port has come up with conflicting reports and it has given vague answers such as "We might", "We hope to" or "We will try". We are looking for a commitment. It would be one thing if Dublin Port is saying it will never go for cruise ships again. It is saying that it wants the cruise business but everything it is doing behind the scenes suggests it does not want the cruise business. It should be honest and tell the truth.
