Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 July 2014
386. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department received an application under the harbour and coastal infrastructure development programme from Limerick City and County Council for works to be carried out in Glin, County Limerick; and when he expects to make a decision on the funding under this programme. [30381/14]
View answerGlin Pier is in the ownership of Limerick City and County Council and responsibility for its development, repair and maintenance rests with the Local Authority in the first instance. My Department, however, provides funding for the development and repair of Local Authority owned piers, harbours and slipways under the annual Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme subject to available Exchequer funding and overall national priorities. My Department did receive an application for The Glin Shannon Estuary Riverwall Replacement Project from Limerick City and County Council under this year’s Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme. However the application did not meet with the criteria and accordingly was not included in the projects approved under the 2014 Programme.
