There are calls for Dunmore East to be designated as a landing port for northern Ireland and British-based fishing vessels.
Post Brexit, the harbour in Dunmore East was removed as a port for British and Northern Ireland-registered fishing vessels to land their catches. Since then, seven ports have been redesignated, six on the west coast and one, Howth, on the east coast, but Dunmore East is not one of them
Representations were made in the Dail last night by Waterford Oireachtas members Sinn Fein’s David Cullinane, the Green Party’s Marc O’Cathasaigh and Independent TD Matt Shanahan on the issue.

Waterford family business Apparel Supply is recruiting 30 staff as part of its development of a new medical device face mask production facility in workLAB on the IDA Industrial Estate.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin is a youthful 60 but, if he stands down as Fianna Fáil leader during this term, then attention turns to whether he runs again. There’s no shortage of family members to fill his boots but passing the seat won’t be easy. Fianna Fáil Finance Minister Michael McGrath will be strong again.
