The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine will visit fishermen in Dingle when the restrictions end, to discuss the challenges the sector is experiencing.

His department owns, manages and maintains the six state-owned fishery harbour centres, which include Dingle.

The latest guidelines on fees for fishery harbour centres came into effect in 2012 but, since then, an internal review was commissioned.
