‹ Order of Business Harbour boards legislation
Summary
Peter Fitzpatrick asks when the Harbour (Amendment) Bill, including changes to port-company control and board membership, will be published. The Taoiseach says it is scheduled for the middle of the following year.
With regard to board membership on harbour boards, the purpose of the promised harbour (amendment) Bill is to amend the Harbour Acts to allow for the transfer of control of certain port companies to local authority control, to amend existing provisions regarding board membership and to repeal the Harbours Act 1946 and to provide for related matters. When can we expect the publication of that Bill?
