Under the Small Fishery Harbours Programme 2006 €4.186 million has been allocated for the improvement of facilities at small harbours and landing places with a key role in maintaining jobs in fishing, aquaculture and ancillary activities. €3.721 million has been allocated under the Coastal Protection Programme 2006 to address priority coast protection works around the coastline.
A number of the projects are being co-funded with the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs and this Department under the CLÁR scheme. This scheme is to facilitate minor repairs and safety works on small piers, slipways and coastal erosion in CLÁR areas, including Gaeltacht areas and islands.
A list of projects under the Coastal Protection and the Small Harbours Programmes showing breakdown of funding is attached.
The financial envelope including funding requirements for the fishery harbours and coast protection measures under the NDP 2007-2013 is currently being formulated.
