Cllr Fortune at the fishermen protest TUES1NOV22 Pic: John McGowan

ollowing Tuesday’s protest by local fishermen over berthing rights at Greystones harbour, Cllr Tom Fortune has written to Wicklow County Council CEO Brian Gleeson…

Evening Brian,

I am really surprised and find it baffling the situation that is ongoing with the Fishermen at Greystones Harbour. With this mail I am requesting a meeting with you, the senior person in John Sisk and Son, the Fishermen and myself to decide on a win-win outcome. I am fully versed with the history and progress of this project.

It is my duty and responsibility as a public representative to ask for and expect such a meeting urgently takes place.

I would be surprised that two large organisations , Wicklow County Council and John Sisk & Son a company – whose turnover last year was over 1.485 billion euro – would really stand over what I have witnessed regarding the treatment of the fishermen and surely would want such a meeting to urgently take place.

I would appreciate if you would urgently come back to me on my request. I will touch base with you on Monday on the matter.

Thanks

Tom

Greystones Municipal District
