The development of this small craft harbour in Killybegs is seen as a much needed addition to the facilities provided within Killybegs Fishery Harbour Centre, offering many benefits to harbour users as well as a welcome spin-off for the local economy. In 2013 I provided funding for this project under the Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development programme which is administered by my Department.
The design and planning phase of the project has progressed well. A planning application was lodged with Donegal County Council on 29 October 2013, however due to a technicality with the associated site notice, a renewed planning application will now be lodged with the council on 19 December and a new site notice will be erected.
