Yes, it was. Due consideration was not given. We are in the throes of Brexit. We are now hearing that the Northern Ireland protocol is not going to be operated. There has been a substantial increase in traffic on these routes from Rosslare Europort and yet these routes are being sidelined. I do not understand the methodology. These are primary routes to the development of what is now Ireland's busiest and most strategic port and yet they are being sidelined for the want of €3.5 million. It makes no sense.
