he considers that the south coast would be the obvious location, and that respect Cork Harbour should be the selection.

He concludes that Dublin is not focus for American-European trade, and neither does he share enthusiasm for Galway.

Dr. Oliver Gogarty (Dublin), 'a member of the Free State Senate, strongly favours the selection of Galway. He confesses himself puzzled by the auggestion that Dublin should be the free port by way of inducing the North Atlantic trade to pass through Dublin. But he points out that Dublin, of all the Irish ports; is situated midmost on the opposite side from the Atlantic, and consequently is furthest from the Atlantic.
