Rathmullen Pier, Co. Donegal is the property of Donegal County Council and responsibility for its maintenance and development is a matter for that local authority in the first instance.

The Department is currently preparing the 2007 Harbours & Coastal Infrastructure Programme and has received an application for funding from Donegal County Council for design and repair works at Rathmullen, which is currently under consideration.

Funding for projects under the 2007 Harbours and Coastal Infrastructure Programme will be allocated taking account of Exchequer funding and overall national priorities going forward. I hope to be in a position to announce the 2007 Harbours & Coastal Development Programme shortly.
