Knockadoon pier is owned by Cork County Council and responsibility for its repair and maintenance rests with the local authority in the first instance.

In July 2003 Cork County Council made an application to the Department for funding to carry out works at Knockadoon slipway at an estimated cost of €94,500. There was no funding available in 2003 or 2004 for these works. The question of providing funding in the 2005-2006 period will depend on the amount of funding available for works at fishery harbours generally and overall national priorities.
