The pier at Renard is the property of Kerry County Council and responsibility for its repair and upkeep rests with the Local Authority in the first instance.

My Department has however received an application from Kerry County Council for funding under my Department's 2009 Fishery Harbours and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme for improvements at the pier.

This application together with all other applications for funding under the 2009 Fishery Harbours and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme will be given consideration subject to available exchequer funding and overall national priorities.
