Surgeview, Blacksod, Co. Mayo is owned by Mayo County Council and responsibility for its maintenance is a matter for the local authority in the first instance. The Department is currently preparing the 2007 Harbours & Coastal Development Programme and has received applications for funding of Coastal Protection works and Fishery Harbour projects in Mayo. However, Surgeview, Blacksod, Ballina, Co. Mayo was not included in the projects submitted by Mayo County Council. If, in the future, Mayo County Council submits an application for funding at Surgeview, Blacksod, Ballina, Co. Mayo it will be considered based on Exchequer funding and overall national priorities going forward.
