US security ‘paranoia’ sparks port costs hike
Brian Byrne, who heads the Shannon Foynes Port Company, which runs Foynes and Limerick port and four other installations on the estuary, accused the US of paranoia, such are the security demands.
He said: “At Foynes we have to put up an eight foot security fence around the port. This work is nearing completion and the fence runs for 1.5 kilometres, costing us €1.5 million.”
