#GALWAY HARBOUR– Funding for the proposed redevelopment of Galway Port, could be sourced from international cruise-line companies, the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications has been told.
Paul Carey of Galway Harbour Company told the Committee yesterday that preliminary discussions had taken place with a number of the world's largest cruise-line operators to discuss this possibility.
Questioned by committee member and Galway West TD Brian Walsh, Mr Carey cited Royal Caribbean International as an example of a company that has become a stakeholder in such infrastructure projects in the past.
