A public consultation is to take place at the Port of Waterford in regards to developing an Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) capable berth located downriver of the city at Belview Port terminal.

The project is at a preliminary design stage and as part of this work, the Port invites all interested stakeholders to take part in a public consultation on Monday 20th February (1600-2000).

The venue will be at the port’s Marine Point (3rd Floor) Office, Belview Port, Waterford, (Postcode: X91 W0XW).

Lambs Week Regatta on Galway Bay

With a theme of accessibility, Lambs Week was devised to celebrate the unique sailing grounds of the West of Ireland. 

It comprises five days of sailing around Galway Bay and the Aran Islands.

Big boats, small boats, fast boats and slow boats are all welcome.

The fleet, which totalled 46 for the first edition in 2021, takes in three beautiful harbours of Ros aMhil, Cil Ronain and Cloch naRon, each keen to offer a warm welcome to the competing sailors. 

Organisers Galway Bay Sailing Club match similarly rated boats to see who can get the best out of the conditions for a 'Sail in Company'.  A Pursuit Challenge around the islands for both competitive and non-competitive boats is also held.
