View answerHowth Fishery Harbour Centre is one of the six designated Fishery Harbour Centres (FHC) for which my Department is responsible.
Notwithstanding the prevailing economic environment in which we operate, I am happy to be able to advise that I have allocated funding of €1.5 million towards maintenance, development and upgrading works at the Howth Fishery Harbour Centre as part of my Department's Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme 2012.
