Port finally fills board vacancies but chairman yet to be appointed

After several months’ delay, four board vacancies have finally been filled at the Port of Cork but a board chairman still remains to be appointed by Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar.

The four members appointed to the board include a well-known former senior trade union official, a barrister, a shipping agent and a businessman, who is the son of an ex-Labour TD.

Former assistant general secretary of the Impact union, Dominic McEvoy, who lives in Glanmire, is believed to be the panel’s Labour Party appointment.
