The Government has still not chosen an eastern port outside Dublin for the offshore wind farms we need to build, service and assemble. As usual delay even with a Green Minister resonsible has meant its more likely Wales will benefit and not Ireland. Rosslare is too far south and you get the usual "plans". The government will have to make a choice and not worry what votes it loses over X other port not getting the nod. We have 5 years to get planning permission, order the turbines, line up the kit and skilled labour needed and schedule the maritime kit that must be booked years ahead and then Eirgrid need the onshore power ready to connect it all without delay ohh and some sort of port to handle anything Wales finds too low profit to bother taking on until Irish ports clamour for the business they missed and voters ask at the door
More than enough ports as it is. If Dublin port is to be partially redeveloped then allocate that business to the existing ports rather than investing in a new white elephant
