Work will commence in the coming weeks on a new floating pontoon at Cheekpoint harbour in Co Waterford.

It comes a year after the Cheekpoint Boat Owners Association received planning permission for the 63-metre pontoon, which is being supplied by Inland and Coastal Marina Systems in Banagher, Co Offaly.

According to the association, the facility is intended for use by the wider community on the southern shores of the River Suir between Dunmore East and Waterford city.

Pontoon entrance works were completed in mid June ahead of the pending installation of the pontoon by LCF Castletownbere.

Further updates on the project will be available from the Cheekpoint Boat Owners Association website.
