Courtown fishermen confined to harbour
Courtown harbour closed for business
“Is the Minister for Fisheries

are unable to pursue their
occupation, and if any steps can

be taken by the Department to
have the harbour dredged.”
This question was asked in the
Dail in 1927 and 88 years later
the question is still being asked by
the fishermen who use Courtown
Harbour in Wexford.
In recent weeks local whelk boats
and even the RNLI lifeboat were
unable to leave harbour due to
heavy silting at the mouth and the
situation is now affecting both
fishermen and local processors.
The silting of the East facing
harbour is an annual event and
while Wexford County Council
have constantly dredged the
mouth, it requires a more long
term solution. In recent years,
despite repeated requests and
efforts by Wexford County
Council to secure funding to
upgrade the harbour at Courtown,
nothing has happened to date.
Numerous surveys have been
carried out and a proposal was

put forward to construct a dog leg
off the head of the pier to deflect
the silt but the plan was put on
hold till there is sufficient money
available.
There have been numerous
meetings and numerous Ministers
have visited but the fishermen
and locals believe they are being
fobbed off and not getting any
concrete answer or funding
to solve the problem. As well
as being a fishing harbour the
harbour depends very much on
tourism. Many other types of
boat use the harbour regularly and
the lack of access is hitting the
local businesses finanacially.
Leslie Bates from local whelk
processor Sofrimar also voiced his
concerns. “On average the Arklow
whelk fishermen are getting 34%
more days at sea fishing than
Courtown boats.
This is a direct result of the silting
problem and is a great financial
loss to the local and wider
Wexford economy.
