- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: I thank Mr. O'Callaghan. We will now hear from Mr. Coffey from DFDS. I am aware that he has no official statement. Given the timing, that is quite understandable. Could he give us an overview of the service he is bringing to Rosslare?

Kieran O'Donnell: In that context, Mr. O'Callaghan, why Liège in terms of connectivity, particularly in the cargo system? It is predominantly coming through Heathrow to date, I presume.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: What does Liège offer for connectivity?

Kieran O'Donnell: I will return to Deputy Verona Murphy's point. You do not see this as a cost issue.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: However, it is not the only issue.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: The Deputy might provide us with her correspondence and we will follow up in that regard.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: We will follow up on that with the Department. Stena Line has said it will come in in the new year. Irish Ferries did not give that commitment but I expect that it will.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: Has the Deputy written to the Department already on this?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: If there is a general aspect to legislation around that area, we as a committee certainly can write to the Department pointing out that fact without in any way passing comment on whether anything is happening in that regard.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: The ferry companies are not here today. On the general trend of what is in the legislation, what the Deputy proposes is perfectly acceptable. We are just over two weeks away from 1 January. We are 15 days away, to be precise. We are in countdown. First, with the Irish Road Haulage Association, I want to get down to nitty-gritty. They might name the ports that they use. Am I correct...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: Cork, Dublin and Rosslare could make up to 90% of the shipping.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: What I want to know is that, come 1 January, with what is in place now, if I was to drive into Dublin Port or down to Rosslare Port, what would I see? In that context, I know from speaking to members of the Irish Road Haulage Association that there is no online booking system at Dublin whereas one exists in Cork, and it works well. They might give us their view. Will it be chaos? Will it...
