Mr. Des Whelan:

As I said earlier, prior to the collapse of Bell Lines more than 20 years ago, there were 25 container services in and out of Waterford each week. There are now only three. Last year, there were two and a third deep sea service started in July. The bulk has built up substantially over the past ten years in particular but we still have plenty of capacity to take extra container services in and out of Waterford. We hope this will come to fruition. We have the capacity and we have certainly made it known to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport on a number of occasions.
