Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 November 2016
691. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if there are any sources of funding in her Department or in any agencies under her Department's remit for a company expanding a commercial marina development with associated economic, community and social benefits.

View answerMy Department or enterprise agencies do not provide supports for this type of development. However, the promoter could engage with the Local Enterprise Office (LEO) who may be able to offer advice on any other form of support from various sources. At the appropriate time, the relevant Local Enterprise Office could also examine whatever spin-out projects that might emerge to consider if they would fall within the range of activity eligible for LEO support.
There is a possibility that Fáilte Ireland or the Local Authority in the area could be sources of funding support. In addition, if the marina is a Gaeltacht location the promoters could also check with Údarás na Gaeltachta if any form of support could be considered.
