Ms Eithne Scott-Lennon:

We are in the early stages of work on how we can collaborate with our new shareholder. According to the new ports policy, we will have a new shareholder in the guise of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. We have a very good and close working relationship with the county council. We are working our way through how we might structure Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company in that picture. We have held one workshop and we are beginning to engage with the county council and the Department. We hope to produce the right kind of model and have studied other models throughout Europe and elsewhere in Ireland. It is a matter of finding the right one and we are working to do so.

It would be great to offer a cruise channel around Ireland. I hope we will be able to encourage some of the cruise companies to provide one but we are reliant on how they plan their itineraries. Perhaps the possibility should be explored by Fáilte Ireland.
