Port users ready to fight docklands sell-off in court

PORT users in Limerick yesterday ratcheted up their campaign to fight a sell-off by Shannon Foynes Port Company (SFPC) of Limerick’s docklands to property developers.

The head of the port users action group Liam Woulfe said they would not rule out going to the courts if they felt it necessary.

SFPC want to raise €100 million to upgrade other shipping facilities in the Shannon Estuary such as Foynes Port which they control and manage.
