The significance of this is that Dublin Port Tunnel cannot be blocked up, legally.

I understand there is a traffic management plan to deal with that, which is wholly inefficient. It is not good enough if someone is inside the port and looking for someone outside the port, or vice versa. My recommendation to the committee is that there is a need to have one person heading up a traffic management plan. Equally, I refer to the removal of the barrier from the Dublin Port Tunnel, which is outrageous because it causes 3,000 trucks to stop each day, each expending a litre of fuel.
