Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Name of B & I Company

7.

asked the Minister for Transport and Power if it is proposed to change the name of the British and Irish Steampacket Company.

As I indicated in my reply to Deputy Cosgrave's question on this matter which was raised on the Money Resolution of the British and Irish Steam Packet Company Limited (Acquisition) Bill, 1965, there will be no change in the name for the time being and any change of name would be a matter of long term policy. The Deputy will appreciate that valuable commercial goodwill attaches to the existing name which cannot, therefore, lightly be discarded.
