Mr. Eddie Burke:

It is the ports on the trans-European network, which is five at the moment. Dublin, Cork and Shannon-Foynes are the three main ones in the core network, and Waterford and Rosslare are on the comprehensive network. It affects those five ports. What we are talking about is five ports that will be affected by it and that will be required to put in this infrastructure. We are talking about ships over 5,000 tonnes. The general view from the shipping sector is that they know this is coming, likewise the ports. It is a fact of life at this stage that this is the way we are going and I do not think anyone disputes that. What people are trying to do is find a way through it. That raises the issues I have talked about, such as the investment in ports that is required and the future investment in shipping that will be required.
