Challenges for Ports arising from Brexit: Discussion
Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I assume these companies operate under licences issued by the Dublin Port Company. Surely the company can make it a condition of the licences that the terminal companies implement consistent and compatible booking systems. The hauliers say that at the moment it is like a zoo when the ferries arrive at 5 a.m. The hauliers come in at different times. They say that a booking system would make this much more efficient. This was a concern before the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit, but it would make an enormous difference to our response to Brexit. Will Mr. O'Reilly commit to engaging with the terminal operators and looking at the licensing requirements with a view to putting a streamlined booking system in place?
