My Department is responsible for the administration of the Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Capital Development Programme which provides funding for works at the six Fishery Harbour Centres on an annual basis and in addition, where exchequer funds allow, funding is made available to Local Authority owned piers and harbours.
A budget of €6 million was allocated to the 2012 Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme. The projects approved under the programme are in respect of works at the six Fishery Harbour Centres, located at Howth, Killybegs, Ros an Mhíl, Dingle, Castletownbere and Dunmore East as well as several Local Authority owned piers and harbours.
It is anticipated that the full budget for this programme will be expended by year end.
