Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 February 2004
326 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if an application for funding has been received for two cranes (details supplied); if so, the current position; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5932/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am pleased to inform the Deputy that my Department provided funding of €82,064.81 to Donegal County Council in 2001 and 2002 towards the provision a crane at Portaleen harbour. In September 1999 Donegal County Council submitted an application to my Department for funding for works at Leenan Pier. The proposal included the provision of a crane at the harbour at an estimated cost €76,184. In December 2000 the Department contributed €56,323.04 towards a site investigation at the harbour. The question of providing funding for the provision of a crane at Leenan Harbour will depend on the amount of Exchequer funding available for works at fishery harbours generally and overall national priorities.
