Primary responsibility for coastal protection rests with the property owner, whether that is a local authority or a private individual. My Department requested proposals in July 2002, in order of priority, from all coastal local authorities for consideration in the context of the 2003-2006 national coast protection programmes. Donegal County Council did not submit an application for funding for works between Doaghmore and Glinsk.
