Mr. Barry Kenny:

If it assists the committee, I can finish for Mr. Carr. I do not know why Mr. Carr's device is not unmuting but I will finish the statement for him.

He addressed the point on offshore wind. There is another point about critical connectivity to Rosslare Europort and all major cities and industrial hubs throughout Ireland being further supported by improving road developments. As volumes through the port grow it is essential that the Oilgate to Rosslare motorway and the new port access road are completed so that the additional future traffic can be accommodated and so that Rosslare can be developed to its full potential to support the Irish economy.

We must not forget the traffic congestion problems that existed pre Covid-19 and the over-reliance on Dublin and the challenges that brought. Rosslare Europort has proven in recent times how important a strategic asset it is and should be fully supported to deliver all of the plans outlined today. My thanks to the Chairman and committee members and apologies on behalf of Mr. Carr.
