ENERGY companies are likely to have their interest piqued by the arrival to market of a c16 acre waterfront site in a part of East Cork with a strong history of power generation.

In a pivotal position between Whitegate oil refinery and Fort Davis (sister fort of Camden, in Crosshaven), the 6.38 ha site, for sale with a guide price of €400,000, was once part of an old naval base, and comes with 600m of road frontage, 240m of foreshore and a disused jetty.
