Greens are anti-industry, claims port official

A SENIOR member of Port of Cork management has accused the Green Party of being anti-industry and intent on turning the harbour into a giant tourist attraction.

The accusation was made by the Port of Cork’s commercial manager, Captain Michael McCarthy, who reacted angrily to recent pronouncements from the Green Party – especially from Senator Dan Boyle – about the future use of the harbour.

Capt McCarthy said he was “astounded” at Mr Boyle’s statement in the Irish Examiner about the Green Party’s agenda to develop Cork Harbour for tourism.
