The Government's "Transport 21" scheme, announced with great fanfare in 2006, purported to be a scheme which would rejuvenate road and rail transport in Ireland. However, aside from consisting mainly of previously announced allocations, by far the greatest share of spending was on roads, that is, motorways.

In late 2007, Drogheda Port Company signed a joint venture partnership deal with Castle Market Holdings Ltd. (a subsidiary of Treasury Holdings) to form the Bremore Port Company. Under the remit of this company, a new deep water port will be built on a greenfield site at Bremore in north Co. Dublin.
