Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

We have six fisheries harbours. They were vested in the Minister through the Fishery Harbour Centres Act. The proposition was that the State should invest in harbours for the development of the fisheries sector. If I am not mistaken, 80% of fish landed in Ireland are landed through those six fisheries harbours. The investment programme was based on a strategic plan. It was not arbitrary. It provides for things like additional landing space, dredging and all the things that are relevant in the context of allowing vessels to land and process their catch in an efficient way. Ms Hawe may wish to add to that.
