Dunmore East 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.
A capital investment of €2.42 million has been allocated to works at Dunmore East Fishery Harbour Centre in the 2021 Programme. Details of the development works which are being undertaken at Dunmore East Fishery Harbour Centre are available online at gov.ie - Minister McConalogue announces €38.3 million in funding for Capital projects at Ireland’s six Fishery Harbour Centres including an enhanced scheme for 79 Local Authority harbours (www.gov.ie).
Since 2010, just under €19.8 million has been invested in Dunmore East Fishery Harbour Centre. Future development options continue to be explored; these would be subject to any necessary financial and consenting processes before being advanced.
