Ros an Mhíl Fishery Harbour Centre is one of the six designated Fishery Harbour Centres owned, managed and maintained by my Department under statute. As the Deputy is aware, on 1st February, I announced that the Government had approved the Deep Water Quay Project at Ros an Mhíl. This will add 200m of quayside and over 70% greater depth to accommodate larger fishing vessels and attract additional landings from both Irish and non-Irish fishing vessels.
I am happy to advise that my Department has procured the services of consulting engineers for this project and they have commenced the detailed design for the Deep Water Quay Project. Additionally, the consulting engineers will manage the tender process for construction works, supervise the construction works, and in due course handover completed construction works back to my Department. Until the consultant's work has been undertaken, the timeline or key milestones for the development cannot be specified. My Department will be advised by the consulting engineers on the schedule of the different elements of the project including the dredging and construction works. However my Department will be working closely with the consultant to progress the development.

Ros an Mhíl Fishery Harbour Centre is one of the six designated Fishery Harbour Centres owned, managed and maintained by my Department under statute. On 1st February I announced that the Government had approved the Deep Water Quay Project at Ros an Mhíl and last week my Department procured the services of consulting engineers for this project.
I am advised that there are no water discharges envisaged from the Deep Water Quay project to any waste water treatment plant. The waste water treatment plant at Ros an Mhíl is owned and operated by Údarás na Gaeltachta. Any questions concerning that plant would be best directed to that body.
