My Department does not subsidise any shipping companies. All shipping companies operating services in and out of the country are private commercial companies and receive no State funding.

The Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht has responsibility for the subsidised ferry services to offshore islands and can supply details in that regard.
