Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Ports Development: Discussion

Mr. Pat Keating:

Not particularly from a trade perspective. From a European policy perspective, though, it did because Europeans shone a light on Ireland in terms of the TEN-T regulation. Where once we had just one core corridor, now we have two. Ireland is unique in that sense. The Shannon Foynes Port Company was extended onto the two core corridors, elevating us to the highest level in the EU's port policy hierarchy, which was important.
