Garnish Pier is owned by Cork County Council and responsibility for its maintenance and development is a matter for the local authority in the first instance. Cork County Council submitted a proposal to the Department in 2003 for works to Garnish Pier at an estimated cost of €750,000. A programme for the funding of small harbours within the overall 2005 fishery harbours development programme is under consideration. Funding for Garnish Pier will be considered under the programme taking into account the amount of Exchequer funding available and overall national priorities.
