Ceist:72 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if funding can be sanctioned to upgrade a pier and its ancillary facilities (details supplied) in County Mayo. [8735/01]
Written Answers. - Harbours and Piers.
The pier in question is owned by Mayo County Council and its repair and maintenance is the responsibility of the local authority in the first instance.
The pier is among the piers and harbour projects in County Mayo which were submitted to my Department in a three year programme by Mayo County Council for funding support last year. The scope for funding works at this location is being kept under review by my Department in consultation with Mayo County Council in light of available funding in forward years.
