With a rich heritage dating back centuries, Dunmore East has long been a cornerstone of Ireland's fishing industry. Its harbour was built between 1815 and 1818 as a mail packet station and later became an important fishing harbour, fostering a deep-rooted community reliant on the sea.
The port is renowned for landings of whitefish such as cod, haddock, and whiting, alongside valuable shellfish including crab and lobster.
Dunmore East plays a crucial role in the Irish seafood supply chain, with local processors and wholesalers handling fresh catches for domestic markets and export. The port's activity supports numerous ancillary businesses and contributes significantly to the regional economy.
