Iarnród Éireann has confirmed it is to seek planning permission for a major transformation of Rosslare Europort in Co Wexford.
The plans propose an almost doubling in size of the existing port and the construction of a landmark facility that will allow for the development of Ireland's offshore wind energy industry.
The project will also deepen the access channel to the port and create additional port capacity, meaning larger vessels will be able to call to Rosslare that cannot currently.
