Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

The National Ports Policy 2013 recommends that designated Ports of Regional Significance which are currently State-owned should be transferred to more appropriate local authority led governance structures. This policy, and associated issues arising, including any issues in relation to funding, are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.
