At present there are twenty eight leased premises in Howth Fishery Harbour Centre. While the details of individual lease holders are confidential I can confirm that the terms of the various leases range from 21 years to 100 years with twenty leases having a standard 35 year term. In 2001 four sites in Claremont Industrial Estate as well a premises on the East Pier were advertised for competitive tender and were offered for lease to the highest bidders. It is intended to hold a tender competition for the lease at the earliest opportunity.
