Rosslare Europort to seek permission for €200 million expansion which will see it ‘double in size'
The management of Rosslare Europort have revealed that they are currently preparing a massive planning application that will effectively see the port double in size and create over 2,000 jobs in the provision of Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE).
The project comes with a price tag in excess of €200 million, which comes in addition to the ongoing transformational €170 million development of some 29 buildings over 55 acres to provide permanent, modern customs infrastructure.

Conor Mowlds departs Port of Cork role
The Port of Cork Company has announced the departure of its chief commercial officer. Conor Mowlds, who joined the company in 2018 and has played a key role in its growth and development since, is stepping down from his role in the coming weeks to take up a new international opportunity in the maritime sector. Mr Mowlds played a key role last year in the securing and delivery of a massive funding package to begin the delivery of new port infrastructure required for the offshore renewal energy (ORE) sector, to allow the port handle the ships and equipment needed to build vast offshore windfarms. Less than two weeks ago, he briefed EU Commissioner Michael McGrath on the company's ORE plans and funding requirements. Previously the head of the National Maritime College of Ireland in Ringaskiddy, Mr Mowlds has held various senior roles in both the public and private sectors in Ireland and the UK, including with GAC Group, NMCI Services, the Irish Maritime Development Office, and the Marine Institute. He is currently the chairperson of Cruise Ireland and was recently appointed to the board of the British Irish Chamber of Commerce. Originally from Dublin, he is a graduate in Maritime Business and Law from Southampton and is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. Port of Cork Company CEO, Ann Doherty, paid tribute to him for his work over the years. 'His deep industry expertise, commercial acumen, and dedication to the port's development have played a significant role in shaping our future. We wish Conor every success as he embarks on this exciting new chapter in his international career,' she said. Interim arrangements are being made, and details of the recruitment process for the chief commercial officer role will be published in due course, the port said.

Padraic Devanney retires after 42 years with Dunnes Stores – ‘He gave many a Wexford youngster their first job'
Wexford People Today at 21:00 While it may seem like a lifetime ago now, when the doors were opened at Dunnes Stores in Redmond Square back in 1992 it was Padraic Devanney who was there with a warm smile to welcome customers in. Now 33 years on from that moment, and having clocked up 42 years in total with the Irish supermarket chain, Padraic is looking forward to embracing the next chapter as he retires. He was joined by colleagues, family and friends for a special send-off at The Vine recently and left with all the very best wishes from the Dunnes crew. "Padraic would've given many a youngster their start and their first job,' HR Business Partner with Dunnes Stores Emmet Maloney points out. "He is very well thought of and well respected by managers, staff and customers alike and he'll be sorely missed.' A native of Galway, Padraic settled in Wexford and was eventually promoted to head office, working in various senior operational roles, travelling the length and breadth of the country. The esteem in which he is held was evidenced in the fact that over 30 managers from across the south east travelled to Wexford to attend his retirement party. All wished him the very best as he looks forward to taking it easy with his wife Sharon, doing a little bit of gardening and making the most of his retirement.
