Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 January 2019
72. Deputy Lisa Chambers asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of trucks that pass through Dublin Port on a daily basis entering and exiting the port, respectively; the contingency plans in place to deal with delays at the port post 29 March 2019; if traffic management plans have been drawn up; if additional land will be purchased by 29 March 2019; and if not, when. [2242/19]
View answerThe number of HGV's passing through Dublin Port varies on a daily basis. The daily peak occurs between the hours of 2-6 each morning and numbers between 300-360 HGV's. The contingency plan takes this figure into account.
The Office of Public Works, on behalf of the relevant State agencies, is working with Dublin Port to ensure that an effective traffic management plan is in place.
All land required in a no deal scenario has been secured.
