I propose to take Questions Nos. 349 and 359 together.

The pier in question is not in public ownership, and therefore Kerry County Council is not responsible for carrying out repairs to the pier. Responsibility for the repair and maintenance of the pier is a matter for the owner. There is no Exchequer funding available for the repair and maintenance of privately owned piers.
