Ros A Mhil's New Deep Water Quay Project Approved

Ros a Mhil in Connemara where Galway Council Council has approved funding for harbour

#IrishHarbours - Ros a Mhil in Connemara, is to get a new deep water quay, now that Galway county council has approved for the project.

According to Galway Bay Fm, the Department of the Marine has secured planning permission for the quay which will provide 200 metres of outside berthing frontage at the harbour.

The development at the harbour in Ros a Mhil will also include the construction of a reclamation area which will provide a hard surfaced link to the existing onshore.

The project will also include low concrete sea walls and an access road.

The development is subject to 6 planning conditions, including a stipulation that the Martello Tower be closely monitored before and during construction.

This is to conserve the architectural heritage of the area.

Also archeological monitoring must be undertaken during the construction phase.

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.
