Galway Harbour Company has been developing a plan to build a new port for a number of years, which would involve relocating from the existing docks. My Department has liaised closely with the company throughout this period.

The company has not as yet submitted a planning application for the project. However, I understand that the evolving plans are currently on public display in the harbour office.

The Department of Finance Capital Appraisal Guidelines apply to such projects and the business case will be carefully examined before any commitments are made.
