My Department owns, manages and maintains the six State-owned Fishery Harbour Centres, located at Castletownbere, Dingle, Dunmore East, Howth, Killybegs and Ros An Mhíl. Charges for the use of the facilities at each of the six Fishery Harbour Centres are set out in secondary legislation by means of the Fishery Harbour Centres (Rates and Charges) Order 2012 (S.I. No. 214 of 2012) which came into effect on the 1st July 2012. Income from these charges, rental income and other miscellaneous fees and charges pay for the day to day operational costs of the Fishery Harbour Centres.

All overdue debt is systematically monitored and followed up by the Department, and procedures, (including the institution of legal proceedings) are in place to pursue recovery of all outstanding debt.

Details of greater than 30 day debt across the six Fishery Harbour Centres is set out in the attached table.
