Mr. Niall Cody:

Absolutely. There is no better man to engage with the committee on the matter. We want the system to work as best as possible. We have responsibilities to ensure that the Single Market operates. The economic challenge for the country is to ensure that we retain our place in the Single Market. That is most important. To the end of October, 4,000 ferries arrived in Dublin Port. There were 18,000 movements, a third of which were accompanied and two thirds of which unaccompanied. Some 89% of them were green-routed, 9% received an orange routing and 2% received a red routing, which required a physical check. We have staffed Dublin Port to provide a 24-hour service. There are people there at all times when the port is open.
