Question 364: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will waive the current licence fees for mooring of leisure craft at Dunmore East harbour, County Waterford due to the total lack of shelter, service or facilities provided by the harbour authorities for these licences; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Rates and Charges for use of facilities and services at each of the six Fishery Harbour Centres including Dunmore East are set in accordance with the Fishery Harbour Centres (Rates & Charges) Order 2003 (S.I. No 439 of 2003). Charge No. 9, Schedule 2 of the Order sets out the charges for the use of swing moorings. The level of these charges is set by virtue of Statutory Instrument 439 of 2003 and there is no provision for the waiving of such charges within the Statutory Instrument. I trust this clarifies the position.
