Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Ports Development: Discussion
Mr. Barry O'Connell:
If we apply the growth rates we have objectively determined this is how it extrapolates to 2040. I take Deputy Matthews's point. With regard to proving definitively what the economy will do, including all of the factors he has mentioned including the circular economy, we do not know what the impact will be. We are planning 20 years ahead and at some stage we have to take the most informed and objective view we have. This is what we have done.
