Furious Pier is surplus to military requirements and has been earmarked for disposal subject to favourable market conditions. In January, 2010 the Department received a request from Beara Tourism which I understand was supported by Cork County Council, who wished to carry out a feasibility study on Furious Pier. The Department agreed to this study being carried out and is awaiting the report. My Department has not received a request from Cork County Council to transfer the property to them.
