MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT Eamon Ryan has expressed concern about Dublin Port’s plan to redevelop the south port area, known as the Poolbeg Peninsula, and increase its capacity.
He said he did not think that level of growth was feasible or in line with the country’s climate and circular economy targets. Ryan said it is also “critical” that some of the Portland is used for the provision of housing, adding that Dublin Port “are engaged with Land Development Agency, but I want to see that actioned now”.
“I’ve got great Government support for investing in Cork, Rosslare Shannon, Foynes, Waterford Ports, so that we don’t just see all the development on the east coast of the country.
