Since my appointment as Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport on 9th March 2011, I have established no State agencies, independent statutory bodies, State Boards or other bodies.

Dundalk Port Company was merged with Dublin Port Company on 12th July 2011. Tralee and Fenit Harbour Authority transferred to the control of Kerry County Council and the tenure of the Harbour Commissioners, accordingly, ceased with effect from 1st October 2011. I am also currently advancing the merger of the National Roads Authority and the Railway Procurement Agency.
