The new service will also provide a quay-to-quay route for tank operators, and door to door opportunities into the North of England, Midlands and Scotland - regions previously only accessible via Dublin.

  • Used by the Passenger River Steamers. They Chose to Build a Timber Pier Rather Than a Stone Pier, Believing That the Latter Would Interfere with River Navigation
    Archaeological & Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment ________________________________________________. .....________ ~.?!.~_~~~L!i~~_().l:'E_~ait:'~l?~0_~~~ used by the passenger river steamers. They chose to build a timber pier rather than a stone pier, believing that the latter would interfere with river navigation. In the meantime, the Baths were going from strength to strength. They were further extended to include magnificent riverside gardens and a Turkish bath. In 1852, Carrigmahon House opened on the opposite side of the road to offer specialised hydropathic and homeopathic care. By 1858, this care also included a Turkish Bath. Demand exceeds availability for the services at Carrigmahon House while, between June and October 1857, some 15,000 bathers visited the Baths at Glenbrook. In that same year, a new T-shaped timber pier was built at Glenbrook so that the steamers could service the Baths directly. In June 1861, the Browns extended their dockyard by another 150 metres to the south. The works included stores, a steam saw mill and an extensive quay. The possibility of building a third dry dock was also being considered. The following year, 181 ships completely discharged at Passage West and 73 others partially discharged before going on to Cork. Passage West was at its peak. A new steamer pier had been built at Crosshaven and, in the early 1860s, the status of Passage West and Monkstown as holiday resorts began to be affected by the public's increased access to the open sea. The opening of the Cork to Queenstown (Cobh) railway in 1862 also eroded the importance of the Passage West ferry.

    Port of Cork Company (POCC) Comments on the Draft National Planning Framework (NPF) Introduction The Port Of Cork Company (POCC) welcome the opportunity to provide comments for consideration to the Draft National Planning Framework (NPF). The POCC is very supportive of the NPF initiative. POCC acknowledge that the Draft NPF is supportive of Port requirements and has considered many aspects of the POCC original submission. Nonetheless, minor amendments and / or additions to the Draft NPF would provide further clarity on policies and initiatives required to facilitate sustainable growth of critical strategic port related development and the potential of maritime economic and leisure activities. The Port of Cork is a key asset in facilitating national and regional growth and can positively contribute to the objectives identified in Cork 2050 and the NPF. POCC Strategic Plan has identified future port locations in Cork’s lower harbour, as follows: . Ringaskiddy . Marino Point . Cobh . Aghada / Whitegate Consent is in place for the redevelopment of Ringaskiddy to accommodate container activities, and in the longer-term Roll-on Roll-off freight trade. However, further investment in port facilities in the Cork Harbour and associated infrastructure is required to support the objectives of the Draft NPF for the sustainable growth of Cork and its region. There is also a need for further policy support to facilitate port related development; realise Ireland’s full maritime potential; and streamline maritime and port related development consent procedures. Submission Request - Overview POCC request that the draft NPF is amended to facilitate the full potential of Port Infrastructure and activities; support the upper harbour redevelopment lands in Cork; and facilitate Maritime Resources as key growth enablers for the Southern Region.
