Howth fish auction hall
Cosgrave asked whether the new scheme would fund a fish auction hall at Howth. Wilson could not give details but noted Howth’s importance as a fishery centre and the provision of facilities there.
I am sure the Minister is aware that to date £13 million has been spent on Howth harbour development, but one major facility has been left out there, that is the fish auction hall. Will the new scheme provide for moneys to provide a fish auction hall at Howth?
Comment on this
I cannot give the detail to Deputy Cosgrave but I am aware of the investment already and I know there are questions down about Howth later today. We have been trying to provide all the facilities for the major fishery centres and Howth, as I have said, is a major fishery centre with regard to ice, auction halls, etc.
