Yes, there has been much progress on the development of direct routes to mainland Europe from ports in Ireland. That is to be very much welcomed because it reduces the level of dependence on the use of the land bridge . At Rosslare Europort, the works have been completed, whereas at Cork Harbour and other ports apart from Dublin Port, the volume did not meet the threshold required for additional works to be carried out. I inquired specifically, as the Deputy might imagine, about Cork Harbour and other ports, and the advice I received was that no works are required there in the context of Brexit preparedness.
