Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine owns, operates and maintains six designated State-owned Fishery Harbour Centres, located at Castletownbere, Dingle, Dunmore East, Howth, Killybegs and Ros An Mhíl under statute.
As the Deputy will be aware, Greencastle Harbour is owned by Donegal County Council and responsibility for its maintenance and development rests with the Local Authority.
