The cost of upgrading the pier in question, including harbour developments and a marina, was approximately €10m according to estimates prepared some years ago. The scale of the project is beyond the scope of investment that my Department would be in a position to make under the Gaeltacht Strategic Piers Programme. Furthermore, I understand from discussions that my officials had with the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources that no application for funding in respect of this pier was received from the relevant local authority under the 2007 Harbours & Coastal Development Programme.
