View answerMy Department owns, operates and maintains six designated State-owned Fishery Harbour Centres, located at Castletownbere, Dingle, Dunmore East, Howth, Killybegs and Ros An Mhíl under statute.
I am happy to advise the Deputy that in the period 2015 to 2021 (to date), as part of my Department’s Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme, in excess of €111 million has been invested in maintenance, development and upgrading works at the six Fishery Harbour Centres. While no final decision has been made in relation to the composition of the 2021 Capital Programme, expenditure is being incurred in relation to contractual commitments and non-discretionary safety and maintenance works.
The following table shows the breakdown of funding per Fishery Harbour Centre for the years referred to.
