Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 July 2019
2067. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the grant allocations to Kerry County Council under the fishery harbour and coastal infrastructure scheme since 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32453/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department owns, operates and maintains six designated State-owned Fishery Harbour Centres, located at Castletownbere, Dingle, Dunmore East, Howth, Killybegs and Ros An Mhíl under statute.
In addition, my Department also has responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of North Harbour at Cape Clear, as well as the maintenance of a small number of specific piers, lights and beacons throughout Ireland, in accordance with the 1902 ex-congested Districts Board piers, lights and Beacons Act.
The responsibility for the development, and maintenance of Local Authority owned piers, harbours and slipways rests with each Local Authority in the first instance and their parent Department, the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government thereafter.
However, as part of my Department’s annual Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme, limited funding is provided to assist coastal Local Authorities in carrying out small scale projects for the development and repair of piers, harbours and slipways in their ownership.
Between 2011 and 2018, Kerry County Council have received grants totalling €1,654,657 under the Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme (incl the special Storm Damage scheme in 2014). In addition, I have allocated €127,500 to the Council under the 2019 programme. The following table sets out the details of the projects funded under the programme between 2011 and 2018 and those approved for funding in 2019.
