On 12th December 2025, Iarnród Éireann – Irish Rail lodged an application for development permission to An Coimisiún Pleanála for the Rosslare Offshore Renewable Energy Hub (ORE Hub). The ORE Hub is a cornerstone of Iarnród Eireann’s strategic vision for Rosslare Europort. It will support the rapidly expanding ORE sector by providing a facility for the efficient handling, storage, and integration of components for offshore wind farm projects. This transformative project will help drive Ireland’s response to the global climate emergency and secure a cleaner, greener future for generations to come.
Nicholas O’Dwyer is proud to have worked with Iarnród Éireann’s Infrastructure Team, our colleagues at Venterra Group, and our associate consultants Louise Scally, MERC Consultants , Pinnacle Consulting Engineers Limited, AWN Consulting, and Nick Marchant, NM Ecology to deliver the Environmental Impact Assessment Report and application for development permission for the ORE Hub. www.rosslareorehub.ie

Our thanks to all partners and colleagues who contributed their expertise and commitment to the project. Stay tuned for updates as the Rosslare ORE Hub project progresses—leading the way towards a greener tomorrow for Ireland.
