A future marina

A new all-tide marine facility is proposed for Rosses Point in Sligo, aiming to transform the harbour into a modern hub for community boating, tourism and economic development along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. The proposed development will deliver sheltered, all-tide access for up to 105 vessels. The phased project includes upgrades to the existing pier infrastructure, floating breakwaters, new pontoons, public amenities and extended dredging works to improve navigation in the area and functionality.
