Preparation and adoption of the Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) Management Strategy to ensure optimum use of the Dublin Port Tunnel by HGV traffic is a matter in the first instance for Dublin City Council.

My officials and I are consulting with all stakeholders, including Dublin City Council, to ensure that a co-ordinated strategy is developed for the opening of the Dublin Port Tunnel. The Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) Management Strategy is an important part of this process.

My Department's formal role will be to put in place the necessary regulations regarding traffic and related matters to support the strategy. This work is underway.
