Duncannon pier is owned by Wexford 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 €143,368 to Wexford County Council towards a pier extension study. In 2003 the council submitted a proposal for an extension to the existing pier, dredging and reclamation works at an estimated total cost of €2.5 million. The question of providing funding for the works in question will depend on the amount of funding available for works at fishery harbours generally and overall national priorities.
