I do not doubt Mr. Whelan's vision in this regard but I am not sure the Minister shares it, in that the reason I am late for the meeting is a priority question was asked in the Dáil on this very issue and the Minister did not mention Waterford as a potential pressure valve or with regard to the future. It was all about, sadly, that when we get congestion we will text drivers and get them to pull in until it subsides, and after 2021, Rosslare will be an option with regard to the infrastructure it will have. He did not mention Waterford. Obviously Mr. Whelan has plans.
