At present there are twenty eight leased premises in Howth Fishery Harbour Centre. While the details of individual lease holders are confidential I can confirm that the terms of the various leases range from 21 years to 100 years with twenty leases having a standard 35 year term. In 2001 four sites in Claremont Industrial Estate as well a premises on the East Pier were advertised for competitive tender and were offered for lease to the highest bidders. It is intended to hold a tender competition for the lease at the earliest opportunity.

A licence was issued to Howth Fish Sales Ltd. in 1994 to operate the Auction Hall at Howth Fishery Harbour Centre following an application invited by newspaper advertisement. The most recent valid licence expired in 2004 and there is currently no formal licence or lease agreement in place on the Howth Auction Hall.
