Mr. Kenneth Spratt:

We are trying. We met with the ferry companies last week and we are meeting with them again to see what else we might be able to do. A meeting was held with me and my counterpart in the Revenue Commissioners, Mr. Gerry Harrahill, and the Secretary General at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Mr. Brendan Gleeson. The three of us met with the chief executives of the ferry companies last week. There was not much great news in terms of additional things we could do at that meeting. However, we want to meet with them again next week to take stock of the developments and see if there is anything else we might be able to do.
