I believe Mr. Walsh and Ms Fitzpatrick were going to answer the question about the funding for the Oilgate to Rosslare project. I ask them to shed some light on that.

Given that I believe in excess of €150 million has been spent on Rosslare Europort through the Brexit adjustment fund to make it a smart port, improve the customs facilities there, etc., can anything be done from a railway point of view? A number of years ago, the terminal at Rosslare Europort was moved to an area that was unsuitable for foot passengers. At other ports, passengers get off the boat and the train is almost alongside. Can anything be done to make improvements, possibly increasing the number of foot passengers and providing a more convenient service? There was a joke in the past that, as the boat was coming into Rosslare, the train was pulling out because there did not seem to be any co-ordination between the two. I am not sure if that is still the case. However, some works on the terminal would be most welcome.
