30. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the proposed development by Drogheda Port Company of Bremore Port on the County Meath coast north of Bremore Head; the details and planning for the proposed development; the precise location of the proposed development on the County Meath coast; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs the Deputy is aware Drogheda Port Company, as a Port of Regional Significance, transferred to Louth County Council in October 2017 and is no longer directly under the remit of my Department.
I am however aware that Drogheda Port Company has announced it is to develop a new deepwater port, to be located on the Meath coast north of Bremore Head. I understand that the Port Company is still in the early stages of developing this project. The details for the project and the planning and the exact location of the proposed development are matters for the Port Company to develop in line with relevant consents and planning requirements.
