Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 December 2014
254. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the position regarding the provision of coastal erosion defence funding for an exposed section of public roadway (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48185/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe position in relation to this matter remains as outlined in my reply to the Deputy's Question of 18th November, 2014.
Under the (Coastal Protection Act, 1963) Kerry County Council may apply for funding for coastal protection works at Kilshannig. A proposal for substantial strengthening works would require detailed planning and feasibility studies and technical analysis to be carried out by the Council to ensure all options are fully assessed and considered in order to facilitate the prioritisation of the allocation of scarce public resources nationally.
