Will Mr. O'Reilly explain the chaos? The chaos is trying to get one’s empty container delivered outside the port and trying to get back into the port to get another container on but the container terminal closes and the driver has nowhere to park and there are not toilet facilities. Further chaos is caused by four ferries disembarking at least 1,000 trucks every morning during the week which means the container terminals opening at the same time in the morning and all the traffic converging on to the M50 at rush hour. In any case we do not even have a traffic management plan, which I will touch on. Mr. O'Reilly was asked what engagement he has had with the ferry companies and what result was yielded.
