Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The management of the coast line is a matter for the individual Local Authorities. Local Authorities may undertake works using their own resources or, if appropriate, apply for funding to the Office of Public Works or other Government Departments, having regard to the economic assets and infrastructure at risk and to be protected.

With regard to the area referred to in the Deputy's question, I am advised that no application has been received from the County Council.
