I will follow up with you, Chair. It is important that they attend and it is a missed opportunity for them not to be part of this discussion. I thank the representatives who have come to see us today.

I wonder about the governance, in particular in Rosslare. This is something that is sitting at the back of my memory. Does the UK Government have ownership? I am originally from Wexford town and this is one of the points that always comes up. It is one of the reasons there was such a lack of investment. It was always seen as a barrier. Could Mr. Carr explain to me the involvement of the UK Government in Rosslare Europort, and whether that could create a barrier when it comes to its development, but also the risk if the State is to fund the development of the port? Where is the State’s control and involvement in the money?
