I propose to take Questions Nos. 249 to 252, inclusive, together.
As Minister of State for International & Road Transport, Logistics, Rail & Ports, I have responsibility for national ports' policy in Ireland. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of the State-owned commercial port companies. I have, therefore, referred the question to the port company in question for direct, detailed reply.
I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.
