The Control and maintenance of Balbriggan Harbour is the responsibility of Dublin Port and Docks Board. However, late last year my Department made a grant of £60,000 to Dublin Port and Docks Board towards a significant programme of remedial and renovation work to include the breaking and disposal of wrecks, clearing rubbish from the harbour and certain dredging works at Balbriggan Harbour.
