Challenges for Ports arising from Brexit: Discussion
Mr. Pat Keating:
Yes. The Limerick to Foynes road is going before An Bord Pleanála and oral hearings are due. It is critically important that the pressure is kept on to get that road done. All going well, it is still at least three years away. Until Shannon Foynes Port is connected, it will be very difficult for it to contribute to the Brexit argument in terms of containers and so on because we just do not have the suitable connectivity. We are not close enough to the market. That is an issue.
