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

Capital funding is made available on an annual basis by my Department to the Fishery Harbour Centres, via the Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme.

In May, I announced a capital investment package of €38.3million in the 2021 Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme, and of that €8.295million has been allocated to works at Howth Fishery Harbour Centre. Details of the funding allocated to Howth FHC under the Fishery Harbour & Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme 2021 are in the attached table. These capital works are fully funded by my Department. Since 2010, €14.68million has been invested in Howth FHC.
