Mr. Eugene Drennan:

Somewhere in this House, in Government or the Harbours Act or whatever Act can be found, they must be told they have to do so. We are not looking for a sea change. We want one ferry to come across and leave an hour earlier and the other half an hour later. That leaves a better supply line to Ireland, the best time limit for tourists later on in the arrivals and the opportunities, and lessens the time we wait on the tachograph. This is where the container depots open up at the same time. They are trying to pack all their business into a short period of the day and then go home. We need a service line. We need them to be open late into the evening so that trucks will come in, reload and not be around in the morning. It is very simple. When the container depots open, we must get the ones that take in the empty containers who are outside the port. They have to mirror it. The container operators can dictate that. They can dictate the time they want the port open. It must be opened or we create this.

If we look at what is coming down the line, when the ferries come in, they are at the end of the piers. We may be called to the regulatory authorities, and for us to do that, we have to come out towards one end of the port to turn around and come in because the regulatory authorities are across the carriageway, so the inflow is being doubled. When they are done with, it is necessary to go back on the inflow to come out again. No matter where the regulatory regime is placed, and I am not criticising it, it will be in the wrong kind of place. It is as simple as having fewer trucks moving all at once.
