I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No 315 of 14 February 2007. I regret that the information I gave was incorrect — it was based on information available to my Department at the time. I now understand that the pier in question is just inside the Gaeltacht.

I can now confirm to the Deputy that the provision of financial assistance towards the development of the pier at Mulranny will be assessed under the usual criteria when grants under my Department's scheme for small piers in the Gaeltacht are being sanctioned in the future.
