Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have an open mind on the future place of the harbour company, whether it should remain as a company under my Department, a company under the local authority or be transferred to Dublin Port. I would be interested to hear the views of all the Deputies from Dún Laoghaire on that matter. I accept the rate of remuneration is high. It is not far off the rate of remuneration of the chief executive officer of Dublin Port which is a much larger enterprise. That is an issue that will have to be addressed by the new board. On the issue of the workforce, the key issue is whether it is the right size in terms of costs and the level of business of the company.
