Construction of the controversial €300 million redevelopment scheme for Greystones harbour in Co Wicklow is to begin next week, Wicklow County Council has said. The contract for the project, which includes a new harbour and marina, as well as substantial commercial and residential development, was signed by the council and its private partner Sispar on New Year's Eve. The intention is to allow construction to get under way at the earliest possible date as the objective is to replace the crumbling Victorian harbour. However, opponents of large-scale development of the harbour have urged the council not to rush in to the construction of apartments and shops which could be left vacant and become derelict.
