None of the piers referred to is in the charge of the Office of Public Works, but that office has been asked to report on the carrying out of works at Glen Cove, Kilkeveragh and Portmagee. The necessary inspections and surveys have been carried out and it is hoped to have the engineering reports on these cases available in the near future. As regards the case of Rineen Pier, it may be possible to have the required inspection undertaken there later this year.
