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

Howth is first and foremost a working fishery harbour. A phased programme for the infrastructural development has been progressed there over the last number of years, which has seen €25.3m invested in capital developments between 2013 and 2022. A total of €655,000 has been allocated for capital works at Howth this year. Further information on this year's programme is available online at www.gov.ie/en/press-release/bbd0b-minister-mcconalogue-announces-investment-of-373million-in-capital-projects-in-irelands-six-fishery-harbour-centres/

Surfacing capital works on the West Pier were completed as recently as 2019 as part of the "Gas Main" project. The parking spaces are currently in good condition. The condition and suitability of the layout of parking spaces on the West Pier is monitored and assessed on an ongoing basis as part of overall harbour management.
