Dublin Port plans €600m development

The Dublin Port Company is hopeful of completing the first major phase of its ambitious 30-year €600m development plan within the next five years.

The €200m redevelopment of the Alexandra Basin site will create 200 construction-related jobs over the course of its five-year building phase and allow for an estimated increase in overall port volumes of 30% over a 10-year period.

The company has lodged a planning application for the project with An Bord Pleanála and is hopeful of receiving approval within 12 months. Following that, it is envisaged that work will commence immediately and finish in 2019.
