View answerMy Department is responsible for the operation and management of the six Fishery Harbour Centres including Dunmore East Fishery Harbour Centre. The Fishery Harbour Centres were set up by virtue of the Fishery Harbour Centres Act 1968 (as amended) and their primary objective is to provide for the needs of fishermen and the fishing industry generally. There are no plans to invest in or develop camping facilities at Dunmore East Fishery Harbour Centre. I am aware however that there are extensive camping facilities available elsewhere in Dunmore East.
