    Great news. I'd seen the earthworks at the weekend and was wondering what was going on. I wonder will the Whiddy workers be able to park their cars on the reclaimed land.

    Extract from the page linked by Ghost Train above:

    Phase 1, which is likely to cost €8.5m, will consist of the following principal elements:

    20 berth Marina (quayside pontoons)
    Dredging to a depth of 4 metres to allow vessels access to the inner harbour
    Remedial works to Town Pier (widening and extending)
    4,000m2 of reclaimed landscaped amenity area
    Construction of 60m long floating breakwater pontoon
    Beach nourishment at Cove site

    Where will the "Beach nourishment at Cove" be? Is it beside the old railway pier?

    There are more articles at

    (Sorry, I can't post links yet - just add the missing dots)
