#CoastalNotes - “Even Dermot Cronin, just home from competing in the 2018 Caribbean 600 in stormy conditions more typical of the Fastnet Race, can’t compete with “The Beast from the East”!

Consequently, the weather forecast for tomorrow (Thursday 1 March) has forced Glenua to postpone his presentation in Dublin entitled: “From the Aegean to the Fastnet Race 2017-Trom agus Éadrom”, scheduled for that night.

It will take place a week later, that is, Thursday 8 March, at Poolbeg Yacht & Boat Club, Ringsend at 8pm.

There will be an entry fee of €5 in aid of the RNLI.

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
