The Port Company made an application to the Department on 5 April 2005 for permission under the Foreshore Acts to reclaim 0.9 hectares of a small harbour at West Quay, Foynes, to facilitate the temporary storage of containers. Consultants acting for the Port Company subsequently withdrew this application. No reason was given for this decision, and no indication has been given by the Port Company as to how it proposes to proceed in this matter.
