1649. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide a progress report on the due diligence into the finances of Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company that is being carried out by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31961/15]

My Department is not carrying out due diligence into the finances of any of the designated Ports of Regional Significance. However, and as the Deputy has been previously informed, my Department has made funding available if a local authority wishes to conduct due diligence as part of the future transfer of control of the Ports of Regional Significance under the Harbours Bill 2015. The procurement and management of any such due diligence process is a matter for the relevant local authority.
It is my understanding that Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has procured consultants to conduct due diligence of Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company and that the review has not yet been completed.
