Written Answers. - Harbours and Piers.

Olivia Mitchell

Question:

162 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if funding will be made available to the Bantry Harbour Board for the development of the inner pier. [25918/01]

I am advised that Bantry Bay Harbour Commissioners have lodged an application for grant aid under the seaports measure of the southern and eastern regional operational programme of the National Development Plan 2000-2006 for funding the construction of a new pier at Bantry. All applications received by my Department under the seaports measure have been assessed by an independent evaluator against specific criteria laid down under the operational programme.

Decisions on the allocation of funding under this measure will be made having regard to the assessment and analysis carried out by an independent evaluator, against the specific criteria laid down under the operational programme and in light of the funding available for the measure in 2002 and beyond.
