The long standing proposal to develop a Deepwater Quay project in Ros an Mhíl Fishery Harbour Centre remains under consideration. That consideration will include the recently received reports commissioned by my Department concerning the business case for the project.  However, there is a broad context of cross-cutting Government policies and there must be a rounded consideration of the policy issues and investment needs.  The primary role and function of the Fishery Harbour Centres is to support the seafood industry.  Any capital project decision, including in Ros an Mhíl, will have to reflect available Exchequer funding and competing national priorities.
