Primary responsibility for this matter rests with my colleague, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Issues relating to the use of land within the port estate are primarily a matter for the Dublin Port Company and I understand that the port company is in the process of preparing a formal submission to Dublin City Council on the framework plan for the Poolbeg peninsula and its implications for Dublin Port.
