Appointment of Directors to the Board of Galway Harbour Company
The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified members of the public to serve as Directors of the Board of GHC.
GHC is at an advanced stage of planning for the provision of deep-water facilities as an extension to its existing tidal/gated port. It has been in the planning process since January 2014. It has developed a Master Plan for the existing port lands. Plans are being finalized to develop the inner dock area with a view to part funding of the port extension. For its future it is essential that the port retain its reputational standing and greatly improve on its global presence in order to attract substantial asset investment to Galway.

- Well-developed commercial experience at an appropriately senior level, which will have been gained whilst working in a large commercial organisation in the private or public sector.
and/or - A career history which demonstrates significant business development experience including the ability to access sectors relevant to GHC-s growth potential, particularly in the energy, agricultural, commodity and shipping sectors.
