Written answers

My Department owns, manages and maintains the six Fishery Harbour Centres located at Howth, Dunmore East, Castletownbere, an Daingean, Ros an Mhíl and Killybegs. It also has responsibility for North Harbour Cape Clear, and a limited number of piers, lights and beacons in accordance with the 1902 ex-congested Districts Board Piers, Lights and Beacons Act. The 2011-2014 tables below outline my Department’s expenditure on each of the harbours in County Cork. The 2015 table provides details of the funding allocated for 2015. As part of the Government’s overall response to the damage caused by the storms of 2013 and 2014 my Department funded coastal Local Authorities in 2014 to repair piers and harbours and eligible marine infrastructure, owned by them which were damaged by the storms

I have also allocated €1.4m in 2015 to enable Local Authorities complete storm damage projects approved in 2014, which were unfinished in 2014, due to time and other constraints.
