Dublin Bay North Labour TD Seán Kenny has welcomed the signing of a significant contract of €868,000 for remediation and upgrade development works at Howth Fishery Harbour Centre.

"I am delighted to hear that this work is going ahead. This investment will not only improve the facilities at the Howth Harbour for vessel owners and the ship repair industry but will serve to boost employment opportunities in the industry, which is great news for Howth. This investment will provide a better working environment for various skilled craftsmen already working in the vessel repair sector while also providing a centre to develop employment opportunities in the sector."

"The facilities at the Fishery Harbour Centre are essential to the repair of fishing fleet vessels and the ship maintenance industry as they provide a means of lifting ships out of the water and working on them in a self contained repair area."
