Iarnród Éireann has confirmed it is to seek planning permission for a major transformation of Rosslare Europort in Co Wexford. The plans propose an almost doubling in size of the existing port and the construction of a landmark facility that will allow for the development of Ireland’s offshore wind energy industry. The project will also deepen the access channel to the port and create additional port capacity, meaning larger vessels will be able to call to Rosslare that cannot currently.
Iarnród Éireann, the port authority for Rosslare Europort, said the €220m development will support the country in achieving its renewable energy targets, creating 2,000 long-term jobs for the southeast region in the process. The facility will allow for the construction, operation and maintenance of the components needed for the development of offshore wind farms in the Irish and Celtic seas. Read the full story here.
