I will be doing so in order to ensure that Rosslare Europort is at the right stage of readiness for dealing with a disorderly Brexit. I understand that the purchase of the proposed site has been completed. If I am wrong in that assumption, I will contact the Deputy about the matter in the coming days. However, my understanding is that its has happened. In the context of what will be located there, the plan is that there will be 13 inspection bays for trucks coming off ships, parking for 35 trucks, a dedicated area for live animals and a public office with counters and hatches to deal with the public. Additional office accommodation for an additional 90 staff will be also required within the port area. Regarding my comments about temporary to permanent, I am only using the word "temporary" because of how quickly we must do this work. My expectation is that it will become permanent.
