View answerRosslare Europort is unique among the State-owned ports, as it is not a commercial company operating under the Harbours Acts, but is instead operated as a division of Iarnród Éireann.
The planning and funding of infrastructural requirements is an operational matter for the port and Iarnród Éireann, and the company has invested significant funds in the Port over the years. Rosslare Europort does not receive any direct Exchequer funding.
