My Department owns, operates and maintains six designated State-owned Fishery Harbour Centres, located at Castletownbere, An Daingean, Dunmore East, Howth, Killybegs and Ros An Mhíl under statute. In addition, my Department also has responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of North Harbour at Cape Clear, as well as the maintenance of a small number of specific piers, lights and beacons throughout Ireland, in accordance with the 1902 ex-congested Districts Board piers, lights and Beacons Act.

My Department employs Harbour Masters in each of the six Fishery Harbour Centres. Their details are a matter of public record and can be found under Fishery Harbour Centres on the government website at www.gov.ie.

However, I am restricted in providing personal data on the Harbour Masters in regard to their deployment dates under the guidelines laid out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as this information is personal to them as part of their career history.

The table below sets out, in spans of five years, the length of time served to date by each Harbour Master in their current Fishery Harbour Centre.
