The company has moved its bulk fuel storage facilities to the Enwest facility outside of the docks area from where it will supply over 400 million litres of fuel to support the economy in the West of Ireland.  The demolition of the tanks is being co-ordinated by  ‘Lets Do It Galway’ – the organising committee for the Galway leg of the Volvo Round World Ocean race.  Topaz has signed a licensing agreement with the organisation under which ‘Lets Do It Galway’ will be responsible for the clearance of the site and the preparation of a tented village in time for the arrival of the yachts in the Ocean race on 23rd of May.

Following the race, Topaz has said that it work with interested parties with a view to maximising the development potential for the area which is adjacent to Eyre Square in the centre of Galway.
