View answerIn line with National Ports Policy published in 2013, no State funding is provided to any commercial port company.
National Ports Policy 2013 outlines that Irish ports must operate on a commercial basis without recourse to State funding for any activities. Ports are expected to fund their activities and capital infrastructure investment from their own resources.
