I thank the Minister of State. I support the call and the submission from the Port of Cork for the building of a border control post. I appreciate the Minister of State's response and thank her. A border control post must be established in Cork and in tandem with that is the need for border control personnel from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to be located in Cork. I note the last paragraph of the Minister of State's reply refers to compliance with the European Commission and the issue of health and safety. These issues can be addressed and overcome. The important point is we need a border control post in Cork.
