Application lodged to expand Ringaskiddy facilities

The Port of Cork has lodged a major planning application with An Bord Pleanála for a massive multimillion-euro expansion of its Ringaskiddy facilities.

The application is being made under the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act and follows what Port of Cork chief executive Brendan Keating described as “constructive pre-application engagement” with An Bord Pleanála.

The application also follows an extensive 12-month public consultation.
