4 January 2018:
Submissions are being sought for the creation of a “state-of-the-art”, low-carbon, marine innovation park called Páirc na Mara in the Connemara Gaeltacht.
The nine-hectare park will comprise a variety of marine related activities. The vision for the site includes a fish hatchery, a shellfish holding facility, research & development units, a slipway or pier and business units for start-ups.
Estimates place initial development costs of the park in the region of €3 – 5 million. It’s hoped that when the park is completed that it will generate multiples of that initial investment.
Plans for the park are being created by Údarás na Gaeltachta in partnership with a number of organisations – including Galway County Council and the Department of Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht.
Tender:
Údarás na Gaeltachta is seeking to engage an Integrated Design Team comprising Environmental Engineering Consultants (Design Team Lead), Environmental/Town Planner, Aqua Marine Consultant/Marine Ecologist experienced in the planning and design of marine projects with particular reference to land based hatcheries, post smolt units, shell fish processing and sea weed processing units which Údarás propose to develop at their marine based park in Cill Chiarain, Co Galway.
In order to progress this objective Údarás na Gaeltachta now require the Integrated Design Team (“the Consultant”) to obtain all Statutory Permits necessary to allow the completion of the existing Páirc Na Mara Project and to permit construction and operation of marine based projects which will support and expand the existing marine activity in the greater Connemara region.
