Mr. Eamonn O'Reilly:

The number spoken of regarding the land bridge is usually something in the region of 150,000 to 175,000 loads per year. In the publicity concerning last week's announcement, and Mr. Carr would know more from Rosslare Europort, some 50,000 to 60,000 trucks might use the Dunkirk service. There are many variables. Regarding the direct delivery of goods from Dublin into continental European, there is enormous increased capacity. It is all unaccompanied trailers or containers, and I have no doubt that if demand goes up, then the ships will follow. I suspect, however, we will not be seeing many direct driver company services from Dublin.
