1126.

View answerThe six State owned Fishery Harbour Centres at Killybegs, Ros an Mhíl, Dingle, Castletownbere, Dunmore East and Howth are managed and operated by my Department under Statute.
Following publication of the Public Accounts Committee Report on the Fishery Harbour Centres in June 2015 my Department began an engagement with Enterprise Ireland to explore the possibility of making suitable Fishery Harbour Centre properties available to potential clients of the agency to facilitate the delivery of appropriate Enterprise Ireland projects.
There has been regular contact with Enterprise Ireland in the interim, most recently in December 2017.
