James BrowneGUEST
Uh, but we have the University for the Southeast now, and we have the site here in Wexford, and w- we are trying to advance, uh, buildings for there.
James BrowneGUEST
We have Rosslare Europort absolutely thriving, moving up now to the same status as Dublin, uh, and at Foynes in Limerick, and Cork Port as well.

Barry KennyGUEST
Mm
RobbieHOST

Barry KennyGUEST
Yeah, long term, we do want that to be a passenger line.
Barry KennyGUEST
It is opening as a freight line, obviously linking, uh, Shannon Foynes Port, uh, to the network, uh, to develop that.
Barry KennyGUEST
We will be operating, uh, services to a temporary station at Adare during the Ryder Cup.

PJ CooganHOST
Well, you can still bring fuel into Foynes and into Galway and into Whitegate.
PJ CooganHOST
You can still bring fuel through Derry and bring it down.
PJ CooganHOST
So the idea that you would have none coming in at all- Okay ... and so you would only get ninety days is, is, I mean, that's an extremely, extremely remote possibility.
