Vol. 415 No. 8

Written Answers. - Ferry Port Transfer.

Roger T. Garland

Ceist:

216 Mr. Garland asked the Minister for the Marine whether he intends to transfer the ferry port from Dún Laoghaire to Dublin Port; if so, whether this move would contribute to further traffic congestion within the Dublin area; and his views on whether this move would adversely affect the town of Dún Laoghaire economically.

Minister for the Marine (Dr. Woods)

I have no plans to transfer the ferry port of Dún Laoghaire to Dublin Port. The Dún Laoghaire Harbour Development plan is being finalised at present by the Interim Dún Laoghaire Harbour Board. This will be of assistance to me in considering the alternatives available in Dublin Bay for the development of berth-age and terminal facilities in the future.
