Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 July 2009
462 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport if his Department’s study of Dublin Port has been completed; when it will be published; his plans to bring forward a green paper on Dublin Port; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29818/09]
View answerI have received a final report of the Dublin Port National Development Plan Study for consideration and it is my intention to publish its findings in the near future. The report will provide an important analysis of the future role of the port. I have no plans to bring forward a green paper on Dublin Port. However, I do propose to initiate a review of the Government's Ports Policy Statement in 2010. This review will encompass all aspects of the comprehensive Ports Policy Statement, which was originally published in 2005.
