Can the Minister, along with the B & I, ensure the provision of proper berthing and landing facilities at Holyhead where I understand a less than satisfactory situation obtains, thereby ensuring that the B & I receive a fair crack of the whip there? It is my understanding that conditions obtaining there are unsatisfactory, particularly bearing in mind that it is now our understanding that the Liverpool line is to be discontinued? Will the Minister agree that conditions at Holyhead must be rendered satisfactory for passengers travelling to and from Britain and Ireland?

The point raised by the Deputy is a good one. Whatever I and the Government can do to ensure that the B & I receive a fair crack of the whip at the ports to which they will be plying in Britain will be done.
