Funds have been allocated for the renewal of the existing West Wharf Timber Skids also referred to as the grid, as part of the ongoing Safety and Maintenance Programme of works at Dunmore East Fishery Harbour Centre. My Department's Engineering Division will shortly engage in consultation with the various harbour users in order to agree a suitable time to carry out the works in 2009.

Question 557: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the position regarding the development of Screggane Pier, Castlegregory, County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22152/09]

The pier at Scraggane, Castlegregory is owned by Kerry County Council and responsibility for its operation, maintenance and development rests with that local authority. My Department has however in the past provided funding towards works to upgrade and extend the pier under the Fishery Harbours and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme. Kerry County Council has not submitted an application in respect of Scraggane for funding under the 2009 Fishery Harbour & Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme.
