Fishermen in court bid to block quay eviction

FISHERMEN opposed to the sale and development of a key stretch of quay in Waterford are today seeking a High Court injunction to prevent their eviction from the site.

The 20 fishermen who use the North Wharf, owned by the Waterford Port Authority, say their livelihoods are put in jeopardy by the decision last year to put part of the port along the quay up for sale.

Developers O’Brien and O’Flynn are drawing up plans for the site.
