Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard has announced the appointment of a Newry Mourne and Down District Councillor to the Board of Warrenpoint Harbour Authority.
The Minister has appointed Councillor Glyn Hanna to serve a first term. The councillor was nominated by Newry Mourne and Down District Council and appointed following a selection process. The appointment follows the resignation of Councillor Harold McKee who was elected as an MLA in the recent Stormont election.
Warrenpoint Harbour Authority is responsible for operating, maintaining and improving Warrenpoint Port.
Minister Chris Hazzard said: “I congratulate Councillor Hanna on his appointment to the Board of Warrenpoint Harbour Authority. I am confident that his experience and knowledge of local issues will add significant value to the work of the Port in its aim to be the preferred location for import and export of goods and thus continue to be a major economic driver for its hinterland. I would also thank Councillor McKee for his work and wish him every success in the future.”
The appointment took effect from 22 August 2016 and will last for as long as the appointee remains on the Council, up to a maximum of four years. The appointment has been made in accordance with the Commissioner for Public Appointments for Northern Ireland Code of Practice.
