Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 March 2004
289 Mr. N. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources when he proposes to make funding available to a local authority (details supplied) to complete very necessary works. [8719/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraKnockadoon Pier is owned by Cork County Council and responsibility for its repair and maintenance rests with the local authority in the first instance. In July 2003, Cork County Council made an application to my Department for funding to carry out works at Knockadoon slipway at an estimated cost of €94,500. There was no funding available in 2003 for these works. The question of providing funding in the 2004-06 period will depend on the amount of Exchequer funding available for works at fishery harbours generally and overall national priorities.
