My Department owns, operates and maintains six designated State-owned Fishery Harbour Centres, located at Castletownbere, Dingle, Dunmore East, Howth, Killybegs and Ros An Mhíl under statute. My Department became responsible for the Fishery Harbour Centres in October 2007. The Fishery Harbour Centres were established under the Fishery Harbour Centre Act 1968 (as amended) as centres in which to promote and develop sea fishing activities.

All income generated by the centres is lodged into the Fishery Harbour Centres Fund. Day-to-day operational and management costs at each Fishery Harbour Centre are financed from this fund.

My Department prepares annual Fishery Harbour Centre Financial Statements which are laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas. The below table gives a breakdown of receipts for each of the Fishery Harbour Centres for the years 2019 and 2020 as requested. The figures provided for 2019 have been extracted from the published Financial Statements which have been certified by the Comptroller and Auditor General. The figures supplied in respect of 2020 are draft uncertified figures as the Financial Statements for 2020 are under preparation.
