Howth Fishery Harbour Centre is one of the six designated Fishery Harbour Centres, which are owned, managed and maintained by my Department.

My officials have met with the owner of the business concerned in the past, most recently in January 2015 on the margins of the annual Howth Harbour Users Forum.

It is anticipated that the next such Forum will take place in early 2016. While my officials have not received a request from the owner for a separate meeting, I can confirm that, as always, they are available to meet Howth harbour users collectively or individually as the need arises at that or indeed at any other mutually convenient time.
