Ms Patricia Callan:

Yes. The craft beer sector has had great success in more recent years. Again, however, it is always going to be more costly. Our concern is the ports and the competition for space. The Government is more concerned with imports, rather than exports, because that is its duty. It is business-minded and states it is because it must ensure the ports will not be clogged up for our exports. Fundamentally, its responsibility is managing imports and its responsibilities include customs, veterinary checks and so forth. At that point, we will need to get product off this small island because we are an exporting nation. How do we up our subventions for new routes and ferries? Initially, the Government might have to subsidise it as an emergency measure as there might not be enough freight. One will need to carve out new routes and the infrastructure to go with them.
