The Port of Cork has been granted planning permission for a €100m redevelopment of its harbor in Ringaskiddy.
Brendan Keating, chief executive of the Port of Cork , said that while the decision and the conditions it entailed need to be considered in more detail, the Port is very pleased with the overall go-ahead from An Bord Pleanála.
“ Being able to accommodate larger vessels is of utmost importance if the Port of Cork is to remain competitive and continue to meet the needs of our customers and the economic developmental needs of the region, ” Keating said.
Securing future development potential for the Port of Cork translates into significant economic benefits for Cork and the Munster region, as well as the national economy.
This development project is the first phase of the implementation of the Port of Cork’s Strategic Development Plan Review.
Phase 1 of the Ringaskiddy Port Redevelopment project is expected to be operational in 2018.
