View answerRenard Pier, Caherciveen is owned by Kerry County Council and responsibility for its repair and maintenance rests with the local authority in the first instance. My Department has however, provided funding for the development and repair of local authority owned harbours, piers and slipways in 2013 as part of the fishery harbour and coastal infrastructure development programme. No application for funding was received from Kerry County Council in 2013 for works at Renard Pier, Caherciveen. Any application submitted by Kerry County Council in respect of Renard Pier under the capital programme in future years will be given consideration based on the availability of Exchequer funding and overall national priorities.
