Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister of State for the information. I think it was a minor error when the Minister referred to "a minimum of six months". I take it that it is a maximum of six months that is allowed to prepare a strategy.

Harbours Bill 2015: Second Stage (16 Jul 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I can hear the Minister of State's voice rising to castigate the Government for a policy that would leave us with no national port between Foynes and Derry. Given the length of the coastline, one must ask how we could leave the area without a national port. As Google Maps, a fantastic facility, shows, Foynes is closer to Cork than to Galway. Therefore, the argument that it is close to...
