Ringmoylan Pier, Pallaskenry, Co. Limerick is owned by Limerick County Council and responsibility for its repair and maintenance rests with that Local Authority in the first instance. Under the Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme my Department has, in previous years, provided funding for the development and repair of Local Authority owned harbours, piers and slipways. Unfortunately, due to the current budgetary situation, funding can not be provided for Local Authority owned facilities under the 2010 Programme. Funding under the 2010 programme has been allocated to meet contractual commitments and essential safety and maintenance works at the Department's six Fishery Harbour Centres.
