The pier at Doolin is the property of Clare County Council and responsibility for its repair and upkeep rests with the Local Authority in the first instance. My Department has received an application from Clare County Council for funding under my Department's 2009 Fishery Harbours and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme for improvements at the pier. Their application for harbour development under the programme is currently being considered. The provision of a new building for the Doolin Coastguard is a matter for the Department of Transport and the Irish Coastguard.
