1810. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the case of a person (details supplied) will be examined given that they are being billed by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63879/22]
View answerThe charges referred to by the Deputy include annual harbour fees and charges concerning use of Fishery Harbour Centre facilities on and off over a number of years.
The origin of the charges have been explained to the individual concerned periodically. Notwithstanding that, I have asked my Department to write to the individual concerned to set out the origin of the charges involved again and to advise on payment arrangements.
Any individual with outstanding or overdue debt is welcome to make a proposal regarding the payment of the debt by instalments, if they so wish, and such a proposal will be considered by my Department.
