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

In November 2005 total funding of €10,000 was approved towards public lighting at Woodquarter Pier. However Donegal County Council was unable to carry out the works before the end of 2005. A programme for the funding of small harbours within the overall 2006 Fishery Harbours Development Programme is under consideration at present and funding for Woodquarter Pier will be considered under this programme taking into account the amount of Exchequer funding available and overall national priorities.
