Former Bord Gáis boss tipped as next ‘high-profile’ Port of Cork chairman

The former group chief executive of Bord Gáis is hotly tipped to fill the role of chairman of the Port of Cork.

The Irish Examiner understands that Transport Minister Leo Varadkar has made approaches to John Mullins, who retired from the Bord Gáis post on New Year’s Eve.

Mr Mullins, who has since started his own investment and management advisory company, is currently president of Cork Chamber.
