Let's be clear - the ferry companies are profiteering. The UK train companies might be profiteering. But I doubt IE is making much when it's running empty trains to Rosslare and back while delaying their normal schedule.

Dempsey should be on the phone with Lord Adonis figuring out how to bang heads together between the ferry and train companies on both sides of the Irish Sea - it's got to be easier than sending half of what little is left of the Royal Navy to the continent to pick folk up from there.
