I thank Deputy Ó Cuív. I want to pick up on two broad points he made before I go on to answer his detailed question. He correctly stated that there is a high level of proximity between the port and Galway city. They are close to each other. He makes the fair point that the walk from Alexandra Basin to the city centre of Dublin is a hell of a lot longer than the walk from the port to the city of Galway, but that is the very reason why the best way to handle the development of the port is in an integrated manner.
