ROSSLARE HARBOUR

ROSSLARE EUROPORT

With 40 weekly sailings scheduled for departure and new destinations in mainland Europe on offer, Rosslare Europort is certainly living up to its potential and its reputation of being Ireland’s most strategically placed port.

Our port is pivotal in the movement of Ireland’s imports and exports. We are delighted to welcome all new operators and their ships to our waters. The deployment of Stena’s new vessel, Stena Embla, to Rosslare and its maiden voyage out of the port to Cherbourg on Thursday, January 14, is testament to the growing levels of cargo moving through the port due to Brexit.

To see the potential of Rosslare Europort finally being realised is something that is giving everybody a lot of hope for the future.

Our Shop Local Voucher promotion has been very successful with over €3,000 worth of vouchers sold to date. We cannot underestimate the positive effect that this will have on the local economy. Every euro spent locally has a multiplier effect in our community that benefits all of us. The Shop Local.

Vouchers can be exchanged for goods in shops/businesses that remain open for essential retail. However, your vouchers have no expiry date and as soon as restrictions are lifted you will be able to enjoy spending them in the knowledge that you will be helping a local business get back up and running. Vouchers are available to purchase on an on-going basis by contacting the centre by phone or by email. Great gifts that will always be appreciated.
