Puspure Well In Control in First Race at Henley Royal Regatta

# ROWING: Sanita Puspure won in her first outing at Henley Royal Regatta today. The Cork-based athlete beat Pippa Whittaker, a Nottingham oarswoman, in the Princess Royal for single sculls. The British under-23 hopeful started well but Puspure took control and established a good lead. The eventual margin of victory was given as ‘easily’.

Adam Boreman, who has come through from the Ireland Talent ID programme, and Chris Beck of RBAI teamed up in the Double Sculls, an open event, but were beaten by a big margin.

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.
