Purteen Harbour is owned by Mayo County Council and responsibility for its repair and maintenance rests with the Local Authority in the first instance. In December 2007 my Department invited Mayo County Council to submit its proposals for inclusion in the Fishery Harbours & Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme for 2008. An application for funding for the assessment of development options for the Harbour was included in the submission received from Mayo County Council. The Fishery Harbours & Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme for 2008 is currently being finalised and the application from Mayo County Council will be given due consideration subject to the availability of Exchequer funding and overall national priorities.
