Full site should now be devoted to nature park, says Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan

The port company site opposite Sandymount Strand will be used for an extension of the Irishtown nature park.

After 10 years, the construction compound area will be used for containers, but only as a “Ro-Ro” facility where containers are brought in by vehicles and not stacked. These containers will be screened from view the port said, by the surrounding nature park. The 3FM project includes the development of a new bridge across the Liffey, linking the north and south ports. The Southern Port Access Route , includes a 2km road on the south side of the river as well the bridge to the east of the existing Tom Clarke/Eastlink Bridge which will carry lorries, cyclists and potentially a Luas line.

He said on Wednesday the discussions with Irish Rail represented a “really significant positive development” which reduced the requirement for expanding Ro-Ro capacity.
