Topical Issue Debate: Ports Development (3 May 2018)

James Browne: Rosslare Europort has massive unrealised potential and has had for some time. That is true even more so in light of Brexit as a result of the increased requirement for direct ferries to the Continent in the event of the UK land bridge being lost and in the circumstances where 80% of our goods, by volume, to the Continent, go across the UK land bridge. The port generates €2.5 million...

The numbers are reflected in the percentage of funding that is...
