Port access and development proposals
Taylor-Quinn asked about road access to Dublin Port, a rail link for Waterford’s proposed port development, and plans for the Shannon Estuary. Wilson said the road and rail questions belonged to other ministers and had no information to add.
Will the Minister agree that after 1992 our successes in economy will depend largely on the fine port facilities we have? Can he, at this stage, advise the House, in relation to the submission made to Europe, if the ring road around Dublin will connect directly into Dublin Port? In relation to Waterford, will there be a rail connection from the existing harbour back to the proposed new development west of the existing port in Waterford? What exact proposals have been sent by Government for development of the Shannon Estuary?
Comment on this
One part of the Deputy's supplementary should be addressed to the Minister for the Environment, with regard to the ring road, and another part to the Minister for Tourism and Transport, with regard to the rail at Waterford.
