Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not sure that is a matter that could be dealt with through primary legislation. What I will say to the Senator is that there may be a way it could be dealt with through the due diligence process, in that such a matter could be dealt with at the point at which the Minister of the day makes the decision on the type of integration. I will give consideration to this before I am back in here on Friday. It is my absolute expectation that all the ports, regardless of how they are integrated into the local authority, will have the ability to trade successfully into the future. On Report Stage, when I get the opportunity to revisit this point, I will see if I can give the Senator more of an update.
