Question 326: To ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if he will provide funding in conjunction with Clare County Council to upgrade and dredge silt from the slipway at Seafield, Quilty, County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18959/05]

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

The Department has not, to date, received an application from Clare County Council to upgrade and dredge silt from the slipway at Seafield Pier, Quilty. The question of providing funding for the works in question will depend on the amount of Exchequer funding available for works at fishery harbours generally and overall national priorities.
