Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate (Resumed)
Mr. David McGarry:
We are developing land. We are draining, developing and putting the infrastructure in place at this very moment. A number of initiatives are ongoing this year, running into next year, that will put us in a position to begin to operate a mini container port. It is embryonic, new and developing but there is demand for it. We will have some business later this year and into next year. Customers will be giving us containers to ship to other places. It is coming together. Obviously it will be very small compared with Dublin or Cork, but there is an opportunity there and that is what the port is there for - to serve its customers and fulfil their needs.
