Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company to Get New Chairman

30th June 2013

#dlhc – During priority questions in the Dail on Thursday, Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar confirmed the imminent appointment of a new chairman for Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company (DLHC), the state company in charge of Ireland's largest marine leisure port.

The Minister explained how the running of the state company will be transferred in to Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, as recently outlined in the national ports plan.

The Government response came after questions were raised by local Dun Laoghaire TD, Richard Boyd Barrett.

DLHC has been successful this season in attracting cruise liner business to the town, including the visit of the Queen Mary II in May, a move that boosted interest in the 200–year old harbour and its future prospects in light of the DLHC's Harbour master plan launched two years ago.
