Amharc ar fhreagra252. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Transport the Port of Cork's plans with regard to entrance-egress for port activities at Tivoli during the period of transition to use of the site for residential purposes; the means by which the port intends to manage this dual purpose for the site; and if these purposes will be kept separate or mixed, including at points of entrance-egress; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI 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.
