For over four years now, my Department has been funding remedial works to protect the fabric of the regional harbours, including Arklow, at an average cost of approximately €4m per annum in total pending the transfer of these harbours to local authority or port company control.

The primary purpose of the works at Arklow has been to remediate the infrastructure of the harbour itself and is not directly linked to flood prevention.
