My Department has responsibility for the management, control, operation and development of each of the six State-owned Fishery Harbour Centres, including Howth.

My Department is supporting the proposal from Fingal County Council to locate a tourist information kiosk on a site within Howth Fishery Harbour Centre. Discussions with the Council in relation to this project are ongoing.

These discussions centre on ensuring that all the necessary legal and administrative aspects in relation to the project are finalised and in place. My Department, is from a legal perspective, liaising with the CSSO with regard to drafting up the required documentation to formalise arrangements. I would expect a conclusion to this matter in the near future.
