Fishery harbour centre business plan

MINISTER of State with special responsibility for Fisheries at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food John Browne has invited the public to submit to his department their views for consideration in drafting of business plans for the six fishery harbour centres in Killybegs, Ros an Mhíl, Castletownbere, Dunmore East, Dingle and Howth.

Mr Browne strongly urged all those involved in the fishing industry as well as other stakeholders in the fishery harbour centres to avail of this opportunity to make an input to the business plans, saying: “The fishery harbour centres are important economic engines for their regions and it is important that the levels of economic activity and returns from these facilities are maximised.”
