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

A programme for the funding of small harbours within the overall 2005 fishery harbours development programme is under consideration at present and funding for Doonbeg pier will be considered under this programme, taking into account the amount of Exchequer funding available and overall national priorities.
