I am assured by An Bord Iascaigh Mhara that there is no truth whatsoever in any suggestion that the board's boatyard at Dingle is being by-passed and may close. In fact, the board are considering the feasibility of increasing the capacity of this boatyard and indeed their other two boatyards at Killybegs and Baltimore so that they can cope with the buoyant demand that exists for bigger and more powerful fishing vessels.
