Ballywhoriskey Pier is owned by Donegal County Council and responsibility for its repair and maintenance rests with the local authority in the first instance.

In 2002 the Department made a contribution of €63,486.90 to Donegal County Council towards harbour development works at Ballywhoriskey. The harbour development was also funded by the then Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands. This Department has no application from Donegal County Council for funding for Ballywhoriskey Pier.
