Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

I outlined my views on the future plans for Rosslare Europort in my reply to the Deputy's Dáil Question (No. 230) of 16 October last. I should say that I met with the Chairman and Chief Executive of Irish Rail on 1st September last and the future of Rosslare Europort was one of a number of items discussed.
