Ms Órfhlaith Begley:

Mr. McGrath is welcome; it is good to have him. A lot of the questions have already been covered. It is welcome and good news to hear of the potential in tourism opportunities that may flow from the port. What engagement has the port had with the local council on that? Could that be further developed through the council, perhaps with the council as a partner?

I note Mr. McGrath’s extremely positive comments on the protocol. He said that his experience of it has been largely positive and seamless. How does he see the bigger picture around what protections the protocol has offered? Has Mr. McGrath seen an increase in North-South trade as opposed to trade going to Great Britain?
