Quay structure prompts council crane reaction

A LARGE, steel crane has become such a permanent fixture in Waterford city’s skyline that there are moves to have it listed as a protected structure.

According to city councillors, the crane is a monument to how busy the working port once was, and should be protected.

Waterford City Council is carrying out renovation work on the massive crane on the quays and is giving it a fresh coat of paint - ahead of the arrival of the Tall Ships Race into the city early next week.
