Wrecks are to be removed from Balbriggan Harbour as part of plans to rejuvenate the area.
The Balbriggan Harbour Rejuvenation Plan will see the wrecks removed, along with the installation of lighting inside the town’s historic viaduct bridge and supply power to the Harbour.
Other works in the pipeline by 2025 include the refurbishment of the RNLI Boat House.
The three wrecks were lifted out of the water and were placed on a truck and taken away for break-up.
Some of the wrecks had been lying abandoned in the Harbour for a number of years.
The Mayor of Fingal, councillor Eoghan O’Brien, said: “This is a significant moment for the Our Balbriggan project because the harbour area has huge potential and its redevelopment is a key part of the Rejuvenation Plan.”
The Interim Chief Executive of Fingal County Council, AnnMarie Farrelly, said: “The Our Balbriggan team are working hard to fulfil their commitment to have 20 things done in the first year of the Plan and over the next few months there will be further improvements made to Balbriggan Harbour in order to fulfil the pledge to improve Balbriggan Harbour.”
