I thank Mr. Carr, Mr. Kenny and Mr. O'Reilly for their presentations today. My questions are around the future. Mr. Carr and Mr. Kenny painted a lovely picture of the future of Rosslare Europort but can Mr. O'Reilly give a picture of what will happen in Dublin Port in the future? Is there room for development in Dublin Port? What is our relationship with the UK ports at the moment? In his contribution, Mr. Carr spoke about what is ahead of us in July. Is port management getting ready for what may come in July? Are we in discussions with those ports in the UK?

My final question relates to the fact that we are an island on the edge of Europe and we are still in the EU. What are the advantages to and the prospects of using that in the future so we can increase freight coming in? We may be able to get more industries on board so that we can increase exports as well. The witness might comment on the future as well.
