The Dept. of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food runs an annual Harbour Development Programme. Each year invitations are sent to all coastal Local Authorities to submit priority funding proposals for works at Fishery Harbours owned by the Local Authorities. Projects are allocated grand-aid based on Exchequer funding and overall national priorities going forward. In the case of Leenan Pier, Urris Co. Donegal, no funding provision is possible as the pier is privately owned and as a result does not qualify under the aforementioned Programme.
