Following protracted legal proceedings, my Department recovered vacant possession of this property in early 2019. Since then, the property has undergone remedial works in order to prepare the building for tender. These works were completed in early 2022.

Following the recent successful conclusion of two property tenders in Howth - Mariner's Hall and Claremont Industrial Estate - my Department is now currently drafting the tender documents for No. 6 West Pier, Howth.

I anticipate that the tender will be advertised in Q2 or early Q3 this year.  Details of the tender will be made available in local press, in Howth Harbour Masters office and online at www.gov.ie/en/collection/351d2-tenders-and-notices/.
