My Department is responsible for the implementation of EU and International security requirements at all ports including fisheries harbours. However, there is no specific prescriptive requirement for the installation of security cameras under legislation administered by my Department. Such installations would be an operational matter for the port and harbours themselves.

The principal fishing ports are the six fishery harbour centres controlled by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Fisheries policy and regulation is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
