I propose to take Questions Nos. 437 to 440, inclusive, and 443 and 444 together.

Dublin, Cork, Galway, New Ross, Shannon Foynes and Waterford Port/Harbour Companies currently operate under the aegis of my Department.

My last meeting with board members from each of the following Port Companies took place on the following dates;

• Dublin Port Company- 10th November 2017
• Galway Harbour Company- 15th July 2016
• New Ross Port Company- 09th April 2018
• In addition to these meetings, I frequently have informal contact with board members, Chief Executives and other members of their teams.
• I have not yet had an opportunity to meet formally with the boards of Port of Cork, Shannon Foynes Port Company and Port of Waterford Company however, my officials are in regular contact with all port companies and are designated by me to meet with these companies on a regular basis.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 441, 442 and 445 together.

In line with National Ports Policy, Wicklow Port Company was dissolved on the 30 August 2016 and the harbour was transferred to the control of Wicklow County Council. S.I. 462 of 2016 gave effect to this.

Drogheda Port Company transferred to the control of Louth County Council on the 2 October 2017. S.I. 424 of 2017 gave effect to the transfer.

Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company was dissolved on the 3 October 2018 and the harbour transferred to the control of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. S.I. 391 of 2018 refers.

These bodies no longer operate under the remit of my Department and I have no role in their corporate governance.
