I thank Mr. Kelly, Mr. Gibbons, Ms De Saulles and all their staff and teams for the work they do. Like my colleague, I apologise for being called away to vote. A number of the issues I wanted to ask about have been raised but I will put a couple of specific questions to the witnesses.

One of the issues is the outcome of Brexit. There has been a lot of emphasis on additional shipping routes. Most of this has been around avoiding the land bridge, but I often think we have not focused sufficiently on ferry traffic. Coming from Wexford, I have a particular interest in enhancing the offering in Rosslare. With new ferry routes being put in place, there are opportunities. Are there plans to develop and market those?
