More marina berths planned for Lough Derg

26th April 2009

Berths on Lough Derg in County Galway could be boosted if planning permission (application 09621 on the council website) is granted for a new marina near Castle Harbour. The development is billed as Holiday Village Development to include an Outdoor Pursuits/Water Activity Centre and includes 9 apartments, 22 holiday cottages and a 52 berth marina. The works would include dredging a channel from deep water into the site and substantial excavation of the site to create the marina.
