Dublin Port Company is a State-Owned commercial company responsible for operating and developing Dublin Port. Dublin Port is the largest freight and passenger port in Ireland with all cargo handling activities being carried out by private sector companies operating in intensely competitive markets within the Port.
Dublin Port is one of five major ports classified as Tier 1 / Tier 2 ports in National Port Policy and categorised as core / comprehensive ports in the EU’s TEN-T network. Dublin Port’s large share of national port volumes, particularly in the Ro-Ro and Lo-Lo modes, arises due to a combination of two factors, location and depth of water. Dublin Port is a key part of the national port system and Dublin Port Company seeks to ensure that it plays its role in providing national port capacity.
Dublin Port handles almost 50% of all trade in the Republic of Ireland and is located in the heart of Dublin City.
Well, my ancestors are Irish, but they came to North Carolina, USA. Toomey or Tumy, Gibson and Early are the main names. I don't know if any were from Ringsend, but it looks like a nice place to come. God save Ireland!
Thank you, what a detailed record to have of Dublin Port...congratulations.....and yay!! Catríona Crowe...all the way from Bishop Street back to the bay where it all began🤩
Thank you, I was reading about that survey around Wales and Ireland.....I think it’s a brilliant idea...also they could be used as giant dice in a game😁🤩
Concrete 🙄 then the "science speak" to the masses. What do they actually mean? Speak plane English not everyone is a science major in marine and engineering ect. You might get people giving a fek then.
@@josephinemonahan915 Yes, my mistake even as a first language we get the two mixed up, especially if we are lazy and let that spellchecker do all the work. Plain as in plain looking and plane as in the plane flew beyond the horizon. Thanks for spotting that. 🌹
Thank you Lar, that is so interesting.....for instance, the information about the Ballast Office...the clock was connected to Dunsink Observatory by cable...ensuring that the clock lost no more than one second per week...I find that amazing.....I remember going to see the Pigeon House and the hotel and tried to imagine how busy they would have been, long ago....playing in the Phoenix Park we were under strict instructions not to go near the Magazine Fort....we knew that it used to house ammunition...in our tiny minds it meant that if we went near it that chances were that it would explode😂......speaking of John Pi(d)geon.....when I visited Canada, in northern Alberta there is a town called Jasper.....he had a lot in common with John Pi(d)geon......he took care of the trading post for the Hudson Bay Company......people came to get lanterns....long johns....shovels...etc..... so it became known as Jasper’s place.....they were on different continents...and both are still remembered after all this time.....I digressed🙄....about John Rocque....his maps are amazing.....what a cartographer/surveyor he was...huge respect for him.....didn’t have drones to fly to help him with his work.....thanks again🤩
Thank you, John, Charlie and Daryl, take a bow, that was excellent....some random thoughts...there were early houses around the Smithfield area....there were a lot of wholesalers there because of the fruit, veg and fish markets.......there’s a vid here on RU-vid of Phil Lynott singing “Old Town”.....in it you see him on the Liffey ferry.....and talking of football...East Wall United.....Dublin Tenement Life by Kevin Kearns ...and last but not least, Charlie talking about a time before Health and Safety was invented...that made me laugh out loud.🤩
Thanks Joseph for the lovely comment and memories we will pass those on to the guys. And thanks also for the memory of the Phil Lynott video a classic, and a lovely throwback to 1980's Dublin in the Docklands. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NXOrak1nhQo.htmlsi=Ve9on9aC_I52cYPl
Thank you ...what a coincidence!....I was just remembering walking my dog on early winter’s mornings...the top of the hill in the nature park, looking back towards Strand Road and the windows of the houses seemed ablaze with fire from the rising sun🤩
