The Minister For Transport says the last phase of the masterplan runs counter to the State's strategic direction for climate
The Transport Minister says he's troubled by some aspects of the plans for the development of Dublin Port.
Eamon Ryan has written to Dublin Port Company saying the last phase of the masterplan runs counter to the State's strategic direction for climate, housing, nature, sustainable transport and the circular economy.
The plan includes doubling capacity at the Port to 77 million tonnes by 2040, or 350,000 containers each year, which will be stored in two newly constructed large docks.
Eamon Ryan says he's troubled that the plan remains reliant on old and unsustainable transport and logistics systems, in particular, a reliance on increasing road haulage in and out of Dublin City.
