I thank the Minister for his statement and his officials for their engagement. The upgrading of Rosslare Europort is a good news story. It is not often we have many good news stories. It is very welcome. Over the past 20 years, there has been no investment whatsoever in the port. As the fellow says, it is an ill wind that does not blow good for somebody. Brexit has brought some advantages, especially to places like Rosslare. Is the allocation of €68 million for the development of the existing infrastructure and is there a timescale for that development?
