Cork Port claims rival objections are flawed

THE Port of Cork yesterday rubbished a rival port’s objection to its plans to build a €226 million container and cargo terminal at Ringaskiddy in Co Cork.

Port of Cork chief executive Brendan Keating described the Port of Waterford’s objection as “deeply flawed in substance” and “anti-competitive in its motivation”.

Mr Keating made the comments during his submission on the opening day of An Bord Pleanála’s oral hearing into the infrastructure project.
