Responsibility for coastal protection rests with the property owner whether it be a local authority or a private individual. Last year under the Department's coastal protection programme, funding of €148,554 was provided towards village protection works at Guileen costing a total of €198,072.

A programme for the funding of coast protection works under the coast protection programme for 2006 is under consideration and the question of further funding for Guileen will be considered under this programme, taking into account the amount of Exchequer funding available and overall national priorities.
