Dublin Port head defends decision to cut number of cruise ships

The CEO of Dublin Port has defended the company’s proposal to limit cruise liner traffic because of capacity issues.

Eamonn O’Reilly told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland that the plan is to reduce the number of cruise ships allowed into Dublin from 160 this year to 80 in 2021 because of the need for increased capacity for container traffic when the UK leaves the EU.
