Councillor Tom Fortune has written to Sean Quirke of Wicklow County Council raising a number of issues that are of concern to local residents regarding the Marina project. Most important among these is the issue of whether, in the current climate, the project will be completed and the unsightly hoardings removed.

| Greystones Marina Development | |
Wicklow County Council in conjunction with SISPAR have published their plans for the redevelopment of Greystones harbour.
These proposals are on a far larger scale than their original remit and involve the building of large apartment blocks and commercial buildings along the North Beach and on an infilled area of the bay.
The development of over 375 residential units as well as commercial properties 4 1/2 stories in height, are completely out of character with both the town of Greystones and the harbour area. These large scale blocks will significantly impact the existing views of the North Beach and Bray Head and place an intolerable strain on the already over extended infrastructure in the harbour area.

The Greystones Protection & Development Association (GPDA) strongly oppose the current development on the grounds that : -
- The development does not have the support of the community
- Is out of character with the town and harbour of Greystones
- Cannot be supported by current infrastructure
- Will lead to the construction of a road across Bray Head
- Will destroy scenic views of the beach and Bray head
The GPDA has sought the opinions of local residents and drawn up its own plans for a smaller scale harbour development that has received the overwhelming approval of the local community.
