Dublin Port 'has to be moved', Docklands business group saysHe argued: “The planning authority has developed office space for 70,000 workers in the Docklands, but only living accommodation for 20,000.“It’s clear the 200 hectares of Dublin Port is best suited now to apartment development.”
He said people working in the Docklands area - which houses offices for major companies such as Google, PWC and Airbnb - have to look for homes in Meath, Kildare and other surrounding counties due to the accommodation crisis. Mr Robinson said it was"nonsense" for Mr O'Reilly to suggest the proposal to move Dublin Port isn't workable.
He said: “It’s a bid of a red herring for Eamonn to turn around and say we’re not going to get planning permission when he spends half his day applying for planning permission. “We need to do projects like this. We need a country that is bold and ambitious for its future. We can’t have tinkering policies that have one-floor extra height here, or one-floor extra height there.Mr Robinson is not the first person to call for Dublin Port to be moved elsewhere.the port should be relocated to Rosslare - saying the port in the town has the capacity to take extra traffic.

Move the whole of Dublin, except Dalkey, too the Golden Vale...
NTBreakfast A great idea which would bring further prosperity to ports such as Rosslare and Belview. Dublin Port and surrounding docklands are an eyesore, with far too much wasted land.
NTBreakfast Can we also move the port tunnel
NTBreakfast Go off and get planning consent for the replacement and then talk.
