My Department annually administers the Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Capital Development Programme. This Programme funds capital works at the six State-owned Fishery Harbour Centres, located at Castletownbere, Dingle, Dunmore East, Howth, Killybegs and Ros An Mhíl. My department also has responsibility for North Harbour Cape Clear, and a limited number of piers, lights and beacons in accordance with the 1902 ex-congested Districts Board piers, lights and Beacons Act.
I am happy to inform the Deputy that I have allocated €25,780,000 under this programme in 2018 for the ongoing development and upgrading of the six Fishery Harbour Centres.
Table 1 details the capital expenditure listed by harbour for the State-owned Fishery Harbour Centres for each of the years 2007 to 2017, which comes to almost €110m, the 2018 allocations also shown.
