€40m harbour development ‘key’ to future of fishing port

A €40 million harbour development, being opened today in Castletownbere, will help sustain the future of the country’s largest whitefish port.

The Dinish Wharf Development involved the dredging of the approach channel, inner harbour and berthing quay at Dinish Island along with the construction of a 215 metre-long quay and associated infrastructure.

Agriculture, Food and Marine Minister Simon Coveney will officially open the €39.5m development in the state-run fishery harbour centre.
