The total national funding allocation provided for Coastal Protection & Coastal Flooding in 2008 is €3.037 million. However, in line with a recent Government decision, responsibility for Coastal Protection and Coastal Flooding will become the responsibility of the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government. Arrangements are currently in train to effect the transfer. Accordingly, the issue of provision of funding for individual projects will fall to the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government and the matter should be pursued with that Department.
