That’s according to The Shannon Foynes Port Company which has launched a blueprint charting the development of Foynes port and Limerick docks over the next 30 years.
The company says new infrastructural developments and greater marketing of the area will allow them to take complete commercial advantage of the estuary’s natural deepwater which can accomodate some of the larget container ships in Europe.
CEO of the Shannon Foynes Port Company Pat Keating says 150 construction jobs will be created in 2015, but the indirect job creation potential of their plan will be much more significant
