THE Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue,
has officially opened the Dinish wharf expansion - described as "one of
the most significant investments ever made in West Cork" - at
Castletownbere Fishery Harbour Centre.
The major capital project was delivered in phases and funded through
the department's Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development
Programme with part funding of €6.55m from the European Maritime and
Fisheries Fund.
“I’m delighted to officially open the Dinish wharf expansion, the
culmination of one of the most significant investments ever made in
West Cork," Mr McConalogue said.
“Over 400m of quayside is now available on Dinish Island and with the
new breakwaters providing sheltered berthing conditions, Castletownbere
has state of the art, world class facilities that generations to come
will benefit from.”
Castletownbere can now facilitate landings by vessels of 100m in length
and congestion during peak times is now greatly alleviated, the
department said.
