Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales: Port of Holyhead

…The north Wales railway line connects with the port as well, doesn't it? It's ongoing for people. The A55, it's part of the European highway in a way; it's all so important. I welcome the taskforce being set up and the good working relationship with Ireland. I was also really quite surprised to see…
