In line with National Ports Policy published in 2013, no State funding is provided to any commercial port company.
National Ports Policy 2013 outlines that Irish ports must operate on a commercial basis without recourse to State funding for any activities. Ports are expected to fund their activities and capital infrastructure investment from their own resources.
