311. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 5 of 19 December 2013, if the mentioned legal action has been completed; if the outstanding moneys have been returned to the harbour company; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31950/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraDun Laoghaire Harbour Company is a commercial State company that operates under the Harbours Acts. It is statutorily independent of government and is not in receipt of any State funding. The payment of expenses to its Directors is a matter for the company.
My Department is in regular contact with the Company. As mentioned on 19 December 2013, the Company has taken legal action to recover the amount outstanding. The Company has confirmed to my Department that this legal action is ongoing and may take some time. Therefore, I am not in a position at this moment in time, to comment any further on this matter.
