In 2009, I launched the Office of Public Works Minor Works and Coastal Protection Programme, whereby my Officials invited and assessed applications for minor works and studies in respect of Coastal protection. To date, no application has been received from Kerry County Council with respect to the preservation of the spit at Rossbeigh Beach. The Minor Works and Coastal Protection Programme is ongoing and it is open to Kerry County Council to submit an application for funding for consideration by the Office of Public Works.
