Portronan pier is owned by Donegal County Council and responsibility for its repair and maintenance rests with the local authority in the first instance. In 1999 and 2000, the Department provided funding of €133,212.03 to Donegal County Council for repairs to Portronan pier. The repairs included the replacement of existing steps at the head of the pier and the works were carried out by Donegal County Council.
