Local AM Paul Davies has again raised concerns over transport links between Fishguard and Rosslare in the Assembly Chamber with the First Minister. Mr Davies called on the First Minister to help lobby the Irish Government to review the train services in Rosslare to match the ferry times at Fishguard. Unfortunately, current train services at Rosslare do not correlate with the incoming ferries and this makes it difficult for passengers to travel efficiently.

Paul Davies said, "I have once again raised the issue of transport connectivity between Fishguard and Rosslare as it is essential that there is a strong transport network in place in both areas. These links are important for our tourism industry and for the Welsh economy in general. Fishguard is a significant ferry port that needs to be sufficiently supported if we are to get the best that we can from it, and that means ensuring that transport networks both sides of the Channel are as good as can be. Therefore, I'm disappointed that the First Minister ignored my request, on this occasion, to lobby the Irish Government on this issue. I will continue to raise this matter in the Assembly Chamber at every opportunity. I have already written to the Minister of State for Commuter and Public Transport at the Irish Government and I look forward to receiving a response in due course."
