Plans for Bantry harbour project to be finalised

Planning permission for a waterfront development in Bantry is due be finalised by the end of February.

The multi-million euro plan, to be funded through a private/public partnership, will see the inner harbour dredged to make way for a permanent mooring.

“Bantry needs to grow and develop but this growth must be for the benefit of the people who live here and the businesses that thrive in the town,” said Gearóid O’Leary, the chairman of Bantry Business Association.
