The pier in question is owned by Donegal County Council and its repair and maintenance is the responsibility of the local authority in the first instance.

Funding of €624,057 was provided to Donegal County Council by the Department in 2000 to 2003 for pier improvement works at Portmore Pier, Malin Head.

The county council has submitted an application for further funding for pier improvement and this will be considered in the context of the multi-annual fishery harbour development programme.
