The funding available to the Department under the Port Infrastructure Improvement Programme of the National Development Plan 2000-2006 is directed at projects that improve infrastructure and facilities (including ice plants, landing and storage facilities) at key strategic fishery harbours and the construction and improvement of berthage and related facilities at smaller harbours and landing places, with a key role in maintaining jobs in fishing, aquaculture and ancillary activities. Expenditure details for the years 2000-2005 are set out in the table. Funding of €22.5 million is available for the Fishery Harbours Development Programme in 2006, which is now fully allocated.
