Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

I wish to advise the Deputy that Fast Herco Ltd, a UK registered company, holds a 50% stake in Drogheda Port Company's stevedoring subsidiary, Fast Terminals Ltd. Drogheda Port Company has advised that it does not see Brexit as having an adverse impact on this shareholding.
