112. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide funding in 2013 for remedial works to piers and harbours in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54983/12]
View answerMy Department administers the Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Capital Development Programme on an annual basis. The Programme provides funding for the development of fishery harbours, aquaculture landing places and marine leisure and tourism facilities. I intend to seek applications, in priority order, from coastal Local Authorities for qualifying projects to be considered under the 2013 Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Capital Development Programme. Any application submitted by Kerry County Council for funding under the 2013 Programme will be assessed based on the available exchequer funding and overall national priorities.
