#GalwayDocks - Works on expanding Galway's harbour and docks could begin by 2015.
That's the message from Galway Harbour Company chief Eamon Bradshaw, as Galway Bay FM reports.
Bradshaw highlighted a 13% rise in traffic figures for the port at a meeting of the harbour's board last week, with big tonnage increases in imports and especially exports, owning to demand for limestone in Scotland and Scandinavia.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie four months ago, plans for the expansion of Galway Harbour were claimed as "99% ready to go" - although the planning application, originally to be submitted in June, is now only expected to be lodged by a revised deadline at the end of this month.
