Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 December 2015
201. Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the amount he has spent on the harbour in Daingean Uí Chúis, County Kerry, since the approval of Statutory Instrument No. 233 of 2007, which transferred the management of the harbour to him, by year, the purpose of each spending allocation, the benefits of this investment to the local fishing industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44951/15]
View answerAn Daingean Harbour was designated as a Fishery Harbour Centre with effect from 14 May 2007. On 19 October 2007 responsibility for the management of the Fishery Harbour Centres passed from the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to my Department. The harbour was previously in the ownership and management of the Dingle Harbour Commissioners.
An Daingean Fishery Harbour Centre is first and foremost a working fishery harbour, however it is also a very important tourist and leisure destination. Capital investment in the harbour reflects this broad range of activities.
My Department administers an annual Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme for the repair, maintenance and development of Department owned harbours and marine infrastructures. I am happy to inform the Deputy that €5.2m has been invested in the Harbour between 2007 and 2014, in addition I have allocated €2.2m for the purposes of capital developments in this years Capital Programme.
The following tables give a summary of the capital investments made at An Daingean Fishery Harbour Centre from my Departments Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme for the years 2007-2014 and the funding allocated for 2015.
