I will come to that. I wish to state that in that context, we get no sense from the UK Government that there will be any attempt to undermine such trade. London is still adamant that it wants a comprehensive free trade agreement and does not want disruption. We have had no indication whatsoever of any negativity around the landbridge, or any attempt to undermine its importance to Ireland's exports to mainland Europe.
The Department and those involved in the sector are of the view that we have sufficient capacity to deal with this.
Obviously, it is something we will continually monitor. As the Deputy is aware, there is significant investment going into Rosslare Europort, including the €30 million plan and, in terms of Brexit, the 10-acre site that was acquired and developed to provide inspection facilities and so forth.
