I acknowledge the importance of the port. It is in Deputy Browne's constituency. It is the second biggest sea port in the State in terms of ship movements, tourist traffic and unitised freight.

Despite what was said here, revenue is up 1% overall year on year at €10.6 million reflecting a 4.5% increase in passenger cars and a 4.3% increase in roll-on roll-off freight units, while the importation of trade vehicles and light commercial vehicles was up 8.3%. Obviously, the effect of Brexit could be very dramatic on this port and is something which is worthy of being addressed at the next meeting with the British Cabinet Secretary.
