Funding for works at the piers at both Doonloughan and Inis Ní was approved as part of my Departments Fishery Harbour and Coastal Development Programme for 2011.
Application for payment in respect of these locations was made by Galway County Council in December 2011 but regrettably my Department was unable to process the applications in the absence of an up to date Tax Clearance Certificate from Galway County Council. Galway County Council has now remedied the position and arrangements have been put in place to issue the appropriate payments.
Funding for works at Wallace Quay was approved as part of the 2008 Fishery Harbour and Coastal Development Programme and I can confirm that the full amount of qualifying expenditure has been reimbursed to Galway County Council.
