If the aim is to implode CIE once the management structures at IE/BE/DB have been made independent from each other I'm all for it. Land transfers and unwinding pensions would probably mean a rump CIE for some time but IE is getting killed by the sister company and it's time there was a management structure that solely worried about IE's place in the transport market. Dealing with the Rosslare Harbour situation would be good too - that should be merged with New Ross and Waterford to form an all-markets group of ports instead of being an oddity in the IE/CIE group, with the FRRHC broken up once and for all.
