The position in relation to Drogheda Port Company's plans for a new port at Bremore have not changed substantially since my response to the Deputy's question no. 438 of 12 April last. The company is continuing to progress its plans. Drogheda Port Company has made an application for Ministerial approval for a Joint Venture for the project, which is currently at an advanced stage of consideration.

For its part, Dublin Port Company is currently preparing a masterplan for the port's envisaged development over the next 30 years.

I intend publishing the outcome of the current review of ports policy later this year. This will set out a policy framework for the long term, including the issue of future port capacity.
