The Office of Public Works has, on behalf of the relevant Government Departments and State agencies, completed a number of construction projects in Dublin Port, Dublin Airport and Rosslare Harbour to ensure that there are sufficient facilities in place to deal with the increase in official checks and controls that will arise as a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

None of the construction projects complete to date are subject to conciliation.

It is envisaged that the further facilities will be provided in 2020 to expand upon, and supplement, the existing facilities.  Contractors will be appointed to these projects when the necessary statutory approvals are in place.
