Question 32: To ask the Minister for Transport the status of all leases of port company lands; if all of the chairpersons of the ten State commercial port companies have replied to the request for this information; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39550/09]

As I indicated during the Dáil debates on the Harbours (Amendment) Act 2009, I wrote to all ten chairpersons of the State commercial port companies requesting details of all leases of port company lands.

I have now received responses from eight of the ten companies and I expect to receive the two outstanding responses shortly. The status of the leases is in the first instance a matter for the port companies themselves and would be subject to commercial sensitivity.
