The Chairman has just asked my question. There is a lot in this. The potential of Foyle Port is significant and the breadth of what it does is mind-boggling. It has the bulk side of business as well as the tourism side. It would also be useful to hear about energy and what the port does in the sustainable energy space. There is definitely an opportunity to develop the port for more tourism, which is a no-brainer, but as we know these things can take years. It would be good for us to have bullet points on how the witnesses want us to help them to progress that. That has to take in the wider picture, which the Chairman mentioned earlier, of shared island projects in the area that do not just relate to the port but to tourism as well. It is about how we continue to develop a north-west tourism proposition that will straddle Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland and how it will work.
