Dundalk Port could come back under local ownership, after Louth County Council confirmed it hopes to be ready to begin the transfer process before the end of the year.

The port has been under the auspices of Dublin Port since 2011, and is currently operated under licence by a private company.

Cllr. Marianne Butler sought an update on Dundalk Port at the county council’s monthly meeting on Monday.

Chief Executive Joan Martin told councillors that discussions had been taking place with Dublin Port, and that risk assessments and “due diligence” was being carried out by the local authority.
