The areas referred to were examined by the consultant engaged to advise on fishing harbours, but he did not consider any site in Broadhaven or Blacksod Bay as suitable for development as a major fishery harbour. Following consideration of the consultant's report, it was announced that five centres would be developed—Castletownbere, Dunmore East, Galway, Howth and Killybegs.
