Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

They relate to a payment to a former board member of Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company.

As I stated previously on 19 February, the payment of expenses to directors is a matter for the Company in accordance with the Code of Practice for the Governance for State Bodies.

I am advised that the legal proceedings referred to are ongoing. As the Deputy will appreciate, I am not in a position to comment any further.
