€37.3m for capital projects in Ireland’s fishery harbour centres

Approximately 90% of all fish landings into Ireland come through these facilities.

"These harbours are the economic development drivers for the largely peripheral coastal communities and hinterlands where they are located."

€37.3m has been allocated for capital projects in 2023 in Ireland’s six state-owned fishery harbour centres.

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue said that these six centres - at Killybegs, Rossaveal, Dingle, Castletownbere, Dunmore East, and Howth - are "critical infrastructure" for the seafood industry.
