I apologise. Usually, I am present for the full meeting, but 100 things are being juggled this afternoon.

I have read some of the opening statements and have a few short questions, the first of which will be for Mr. O'Connell of Dublin Port. I wish to ask him about the port's berthage and its scope for welcoming more cruise ships and large inward tourism. My next question will largely be framed around a story I saw on Sky News yesterday. Some residential barges are now moored at the Port of Hull to cater for refugees. Is there a tourism development plan beyond what we have already seen and is there a role that Dublin Port, as the capital city's port, could play in providing berthage for ships to live aboard to accommodate the large influx of refugees?
