The Slipway at Fountainstown, Co. Cork is owned by Cork 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 has not been provided for Local Authority owned facilities under the 2010 Programme. It is of course open to Cork County Council to give consideration to funding works at Fountainstown from its own resources.
