The pier at Killerduff, Ballycastle Co. Mayo is owned by Mayo County Council and responsibility for its maintenance and development rests with that Local Authority in the first instance.

My Department has not received any request for funding from Mayo County Council for the current year in respect of the pier at Killerduff, Ballycastle Co. Mayo. Any future application made, will however be given consideration subject to the availability of exchequer funding and overall national priorities.
