Dundalk Port legislation
Peter Fitzpatrick seeks help for Dundalk Port, which is turning away ships, while discussing the harbours legislation; the Chair redirects him and the Taoiseach says the Bill is due next year.
The harbours (amendment) Bill will amend the Harbour Acts 1996 to 2009, allow for the transfer of control of certain port companies to local authorities, amend existing provisions with regard to board membership, repeal the Harbours Act 1946 and provide for related matters. Since 2014 Dundalk Port has turned away 14 ships-----

Next week, the port will turn away three ships. I am hoping the Taoiseach might be able to give us a hand in this situation.
