€300k for port dredging a ‘challenge’
Fenit, near Tralee, is the main point of export for the Liebherr crane manufacturing plant in Killarney and dredging needs to be carried out every four years, according to the council. It will cost the council at least €300,000.
Raising the issue at a meeting of Tralee Municipal Authority, Cllr Toireasa Ferris (SF) said the port was the lifeblood of the local economy, especially for the fishing and marine leisure industries and companies such as Liebherr.
