371. Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to publicly advertise a public competitive tendering process for the leasing of vacant properties, at State-owned fishery harbour centres, including Howth, County Dublin, in the near future; and when this process might begin. [48188/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has recently held public competitive tendering processes for vacant sites in three Fishery Harbour Centres namely Howth, Castletownbere and Killybegs. Plans with regard to potential future uses for vacant properties at the Fishery Harbour Centres are kept under ongoing review by my Department. Properties that are made available for lease are, in general, done so by way of public competitive tendering process. Such tendering processes undertaken by my Department will be advertised in a national and local newspaper, on my Department’s website, and in prominent positions at the relevant Fishery Harbour Centre.
