Mr. Pat Keating:

In my statement, I mentioned the creation of a trans-shipment hub on the estuary. We almost have to go back to first principles in that regard. A base must be built up from a port that supplies the domestic market. There are no facilities entirely dedicated to trans-shipment in the world. A portion of domestic cargo is required to support it. We cannot run before we can walk. Given that we are the closest port to the US market, there is potential for trans-shipment between Europe, Ireland, North America and South America. As I have said, that is more a matter for the medium term. We need to get connectivity to the port, which is absolutely critical, sorted before we can move on to such objectives.
