Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 441, 442 and 445 together.

In line with National Ports Policy, Wicklow Port Company was dissolved on the 30 August 2016 and the harbour was transferred to the control of Wicklow County Council. S.I. 462 of 2016 gave effect to this.

Drogheda Port Company transferred to the control of Louth County Council on the 2 October 2017. S.I. 424 of 2017 gave effect to the transfer.

Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company was dissolved on the 3 October 2018 and the harbour transferred to the control of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. S.I. 391 of 2018 refers.

These bodies no longer operate under the remit of my Department and I have no role in their corporate governance.

Questions Nos. 443 and 444 answered with Question No. 437.

Question No. 445 answered with Question No. 441.
