In view of the conditions obtaining at Rosslare Harbour, my technical advisers recommended a scientific model investigation of the harbour to establish the resulting effects of sea and swell consequent on the proposed development works. CIE approached the Wallingford Hydraulics Research Station in the matter, but because of other commitments they would not be able to undertake the model investigation until September, 1976. CIE are now exploring the possibility of having the investigation carried out at an earlier date by another laboratory.
