Donegal Bay Rib Club Ltd

Donegal Bay Rib Club Ltd was founded in 2008. It is a non-profit making organisation and a company limited by guarantee registered at Companies Office, Dublin.

The Club comprises a group of RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) enthusiasts and boat owners from the Donegal Bay area. At present it has a membership of aproximately 50 persons and is very much family orientated.

The Club is affiliated to the ISA (Irish Sailing Association) and operates mainly from Creevy Pier and Ballyshannon, Co Donegal with weekly boat trips to places such as Mullaghmore, Innis Murray Island, Inniscrone, Killybegs, Inver, Slieve League, Arranmore Island, Burtonport and so on. In 2008 our annual Rib Raid took us to Islay in Scotland and this year we went to the Isle of Man. The 2009 'expedition' saw two baots with 10 crew travel to Fort William, Scotland, a round trip of about 220 miles.

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.
