Mr. Des Whelan:

On the question of all roll-on, roll-off, Belview Port is seven or eight miles - Mr. Doyle may correct me as he is the harbourmaster - up the estuary. The larger ships need to go up with the tide. We have investigated in our master plan the potential for roll-on, roll-off traffic and it is not viable given the time restriction on a roll-on, roll-off vessel going up Waterford Estuary. The passage from the UK or from mainland Europe would add to costs and it would not be competitive against other services. We have looked hard at that and consulted a number of experts in our master plan and this was the general agreement. That is a fair summation of the position.
