Blackwater Pier is owned by Kerry County Council and responsibility for its repair and maintenance rests with the local authority in the first instance. In January 2006 Kerry County Council submitted a proposal to the Department for a preliminary study at Blackwater Pier. There is no funding available for Blackwater Pier in 2006. The question of providing funding in 2007 will be considered in the context of the amount of Exchequer funding available and overall national priorities.
