I agree with these recommendations. We all know the importance of keeping this service open. I acknowledge that Donegal County Council is anxious this service is sustained and it is providing a substantial subvention towards it. Unfortunately, the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has little or no interest in funding this, bar allowing the use of the slip and the facilities. It is unfair this service is caught in a catch-22. It is not eligible for funding from Fáilte Ireland and is not considered for any infrastructure funding from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. We need to find out which Department should be responsible.
