    I realise that Cobh train station will be just across the channel, but isn't this a rather odd place for a development like this?

    A port related use sure enough, but offices and a hotel?

      They are merely potential options for the site. I like the maritime museum one myself.

        How about a BAP range - according to An Cosantoir a while back the NS want one.

          That would work better in the old slagheap. There are already a few thousand tonnes of lead there...

            I am wondering where they think they'll fit a 225 berth marina.

                Easier said than done. The floor of the basin is Paved. Pile driving the necessary supports for marina pontoons would be excessively costly.
                Better that they put it south of the basin, by the Bridge.

                Or not at all.

                  The picture quality is not the best as I took it with my mobile but it'll give you an idea of how much has been done recently.

                    I cannot see demand for another marina given the scale of proposed expansion.
                    1. East ferry
                    2. Cobh
                    3. Currabinny

                    All have plans for marinas or expansion. While it would be an "appalling vista" I think it the least likely to proceed. Do CCC still want to put a waste water treatment plant there anymore?

                        I was down Deep Water Quay last night and pretty much all thats left of the steel is its skeleton...that and the super-fun-happy slide on top.

                          As for the Marina, it would just give the navy heads something else to whack their boats off!

                              there is no room in the basin for ships and yachts - or maybe the minister knows that ????? it would be fun seeing the mrv turning in the basin with a marina on the west wall.....
                              the tides around the island would surely be too strong to build a marina anywhere else without a big break water.

                                I spoke too soon..half of it is gone..even the super-fun-happy slide.
                                i'll take pictures later.
