Dooneen Pier, Kilcrohane, is owned by Cork 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 fishery harbour projects in Cork County. However, Dooneen, Kilcrohane, Co. Cork was not included in the projects submitted by Cork County Council. If, in the future, Cork County Council submits an application for funding at Dooneen, Kilcrohane, it will be considered based on Exchequer funding and overall national priorities going forward.
