Derry Port's Board Expands

It has been announced that two new names, Peter Sheridan and Dolores O'Reilly will join the Board of the Harbour Commissioners in Derry City. The NI Regional Development Minister Conor Murphy said the appointments are for a four year period.

"They bring a wealth of senior management experience and strong personal commitment to advance the role of the Port as a key economic driver for the North West of Ireland. I am sure that both Peter Sheridan and Dolores O'Reilly will make a significant contribution to the efficient management of the port and I wish them well," he said.

"The Harbour Commissioners have a dynamic and effective Board which, under the leadership of the Chairman, Garvan O'Doherty, has established the Port as a key infrastructure asset for the city and the region.

"I am confident that they will be able to build upon the success of recent years," he concluded, noting that he also confirmed the reappointment of Roy Devine and Joe McKeever for second and final terms of four years.
