Cork could lose out to France or Holland for offshore wind jobs, industry body warns 

Irish ports need to be brought up to speed to support the construction of offshore wind farms, Wind Energy Ireland says

Jobs that should be available in the likes of Cork and Wexford will be lost to France and Holland if Irish ports are not brought up to speed for offshore wind.

That is according to the leading industry body, Wind Energy Ireland, which has not been invited to participate in a Government port strategy designed to support facilities to be able to handle renewable activity around Irish shores.
