Ms Mary Moylan:

San Sebastian is in northern Spain and there were two primary reasons for the study visit: first, San Sebastian was relocating its port areas from the city to a location further away from the city. At the time there was some discussion in various quarters about the advisability of moving Dublin Port from the South Docklands to another area in north Dublin or some where else. The second point of interest in San Sebastian was that it had a conference centre, which was very successful. We were interested to consider whether there were relevant lessons to be learned for the conference centre coming to the docklands.
