Investment in Rosslare Europort is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.

However, in relation to State Aid, my Department and its agencies are providing extensive supports, schemes and advice to ensure that businesses are prepared for Brexit.  Officials from my Department are part of the Technical Working Group on State aid which also comprises representatives from DG Competition, Enterprise Ireland and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.  The objective of the Group is to scope and design schemes to support enterprises impacted by Brexit in line with State aid rules.
