Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Port of Waterford Company: Chairman Designate
11:45 am
Mr. Des Whelan:
I need to find out more about how ports operate. In recent months, I have met all the customers of the port, including those running the cruises, many of the staff, and obviously Stan McIlvenny. Senator Cummins is quite right about the marketing; it is very important. The most important thing the port must do is to go out and ask for business. I would be strong on that.
