Under the CLÁR programme, I provided 75% funding for a geo-technical survey to see how the safety problems identified in transhipping passengers from the pier to the ferry boats at medium and low tides could be addressed. I requested Clare County Council to commission the study and it, accordingly, engaged the consultants.

My Department and Clare County Council are in ongoing discussions on the findings of the report and the preferred options therein. The Deputy will appreciate, however, that this, in itself, does not imply a commitment to fund any developments.
