The first step in a €30 million transformation of Rosslare Europort will be taken this week now that the port authority, Iarnród Eireann has approved planning permission by Wexford County Council. The investment, which will be made jointly by Ireland and the EU during 2021/2, is part of a port 'Masterplan' to ensure Rosslare Harbour has the capacity, facilities and technology to facilitate major growth for the benefit of the region and the national economy, replacing the need for the "UK landbridge" to mainland Europe from Ireland, unfortunately cutting hundreds of jobs in the UK but replacing them in Ireland. Among the changes which are subject to planning permission are a reconfiguration of the port lay-out and new facilities and infrastructure along with a plan to make Rosslare a 'sustainable, seamless and smart port', to ensure it reaches its full potential as Ireland's gateway to Europe and beyond.
