Galway Eyes Permanent Navy Base

Galway’s docks are leading the race to host Ireland’s new permanent navy base, with Harbour Master Captain Brian Sheridan backing the port as the top strategic choice—thanks to its location, existing military infrastructure, and critical role in safeguarding vital assets like underwater data cables and offshore wind farms. While Ros a’ Mhíl and Killybegs remain in the running, Galway’s momentum is growing, especially as the government reviews its maritime security strategy and the harbour prepares for expansion. Sheridan argues that a naval presence there would make logistical sense and align with today’s urgent need for a stable, secure defence posture.
