View answerDunmore East Fishery Harbour Centre is one of the six designated Fishery Harbour Centres which are owned and managed by my Department under Statute.
The majority of the properties/sites in the Dunmore East property portfolio are occupied by a variety of public and commercial bodies which support the Fishery Harbour Centre’s role as a working fishery harbour in addition to a broad range of other marine activities.
The types of properties in Dunmore East include industrial and marine leisure units, small sites, containers, fishermen's storage facilities, utilities and marine support facilities.
The number of properties/sites in Dunmore East with rental agreements can vary from time to time due to changes in tenancies, expiration of leases and also for operational reasons.
The Department has leases or rental agreements in place on 24 properties within Dunmore East Fishery Harbour Centre. Rental receipts for the ten years 2007-2016 amounted to some €535,000.
