Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 July 2016
732. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will arrange for a review of harbour charges incurred by a person (details supplied) at a marina during a period when construction works were taking place; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22313/16]
View answerDingle Fishery Harbour Centre is one of the six designated Fishery Harbour Centres which are owned, managed and maintained by my Department under Statute. The harbour charges referred to relate to mooring fees for the use of the marina, and these charges have been applied correctly.
I have been informed by my Department officials that vessel owners were notified of the works referred to in a timely manner. In this particular case, Department officials have been in regular correspondence on the matter.
As with all debtors, the Department attempts to resolve agreeably any dispute regarding harbour dues. In this particular instance, I have advised my officials to continue in their efforts to come to an amicable resolution of the outstanding harbour charges.
