James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

Having been so well advised, I shall proceed. The report today in the Fingal Independent shows that the port in Drogheda will have a capacity of 50 million tonnes. Currently, Dublin Port takes 30 million tonnes, while the port at Drogheda only takes 10 million tonnes. There will load on and load off facilities, which means many extra lorries.
