The Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Capital Development Programme which my Department administers on an annual basis provides funding for capital works at the six Fishery Harbour Centres including Dunmore East.

As with other potential projects in the six Fishery Harbour Centres, dredging at Dunmore East will be considered for inclusion under the 2014 programme on the basis of available exchequer funding and competing priorities.
