Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate (Resumed)
Mr. David McGarry:
Over the past ten years, we have bought various acreages and bolted them on. We have done bits and pieces of compulsory purchase orders, CPOs, to enlarge the estate. This year we are draining some acreages behind the pier and jetties in Foynes and are filling them in. We are expanding the space for truck movements to enable us to handle more ships. We are joining up the east and west jetties to make one big, longer pier, expanding it by 20%. Behind that, we are draining and filling in and developing some other lands for storage, warehousing and that kind of thing.
