I thank Dr. Hiney for his report. I have a number of questions. Many locals in Drogheda have expressed a concern about the fact that Drogheda Port has the docklands site up for sale for €1.5 million. They are concerned about how secure the future is for Drogheda Port. Could Dr. Hiney give a brief outline of that? There were also questions asked about the moneys from the sale. Where will it go? Will some of the moneys from the sale be reinvested in development locally? Is there a possibility the local authorities will get some of the moneys from the sale? Perhaps Dr. Hiney will answer those questions first and then I will ask some more.
