I propose to take Questions Nos. 116 and 117 together.
I am aware of the concerns regarding the condition of the pier at Crosshaven, County Cork. I recently met with a deputation from the area, who are due to return to me with further views on the topic in due course.
The landing facilities at Crosshaven pier are part owned by Cork County Council and part owned by Cork Harbour Commissioners. These bodies are responsible for the repair and maintenance of their respective parts. I note the Deputy's concern and will bring the matter to the attention of both bodies. The provision of any grant aid for development works at Crosshaven in the future is subject to agreement being reached between the council and the commissioners on future maintenance responsibilities.
