Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Port of Cork Company: Discussion with Chairman Designate

10:15 am

Mr. John Mullins:

While we have a large landbank, it is not endless with regard to renewable energy. With regard to energy sustainability the fact we are certified to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 gives an indication of the environmental sustainability at the very core. Other issues such as European directives on marine diesel are coming to the fore also and we need to be conscious of these. Environmental sustainability is something I will examine very seriously during my tenure. I am not aware of any specific plans of the Port of Cork with regard to wind farms.
