Mr. Eugene Drennan:

For the most part Rosslare should work reasonably well. The geography of it is good. It is reasonably well set up, although there will be the new processes to be adhered to and gone through.

In Dublin, as regards the food on the shelf, of course, there will be. I see no reason there should not be unless we really mess it up very badly. I would not like to send out any worries or fears of anything like that happening.

As regards Dublin Port, the Chairman himself can picture it. He can make up his own mind. I will outline the scenario. What the Chairman said there about pre-booking is the system they have in Cork for picking up containers where you can pre-book your time slot within two hours and they keep the flow going. It is not available in Dublin. Also, the higher volumes in Dublin absolutely need the container depots to be open for a longer time so that the trucks can come through in the evening time and free it up.

As regards the scenario in perhaps the third or fourth week of January or maybe early February, one is talking about 600 trucks coming off these ferries at the one time, arriving into the system here at 6 a.m.
