The Irish marine industry gathered at the Royal Cork Yacht Club in Crosshaven, Cork Harbour, on Monday, December 9th, for a pre-Christmas review of its activities in 2024.
A key topic on the agenda was the establishment of a new marine industry showcase event scheduled for 2025, as well as Ireland's participation in Europe's largest boat show, Boot Düsseldorf, taking place next January.
The meeting was chaired by Gerry Salmon of MGM Boats (pictured center) and included notable attendees such as Ian O'Meara of Viking Marine, Cronan O'Donnell of POD Marine, Paal Janson of Dun Laoghaire Marina, Porick Murray of Pontoons Ireland, David O'Brien of Afloat, Mark Ring of Royal Cork, and James Kirwan of BJ Marine.
