It is very interesting. It is a massive investment but one that will lead to a return for the State particularly in Rosslare Europort, with the increase in traffic and the increase in opportunities. As the Minister of State rightly said, essentially it is doubling the capacity.

I have another set of questions on an issue the Minister of State touched on briefly. It is an issue I raised with the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, last week. It is on remote working and encouraging a move in the Civil Service to achieve 20% of staff working remotely. The Minister of State referenced it briefly in his remarks. The detail is quite important with regard to how it can be achieved and how the Civil Service can be a model for the semi-State sector and the private sector. This is something worth pursuing. It is doable and affordable. I would appreciate if the Minister of State would elaborate on the strategy for remote working being co-ordinated in terms of being facilitated by the OPW. While the Estimates for this year are set in stone, is this an area that will grow in terms of funding requirements and the amount of work required?
