To me this suggests we need to look seriously at a rebalancing of the capacity of the regional ports to take some of this, notwithstanding the very strategic importance of Dublin. We need to look at rebalancing to Foynes and Rosslare, which have very good rail freight capacity. I do not see much improvement in rail freight in Dublin Port's strategy. Why is this when we see that rail freight generates 76% fewer emissions per tonne per kilometre than road-based haulage.
