My Department administers the Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme.

Applications for funding under the 2012 Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme are currently under consideration. I can confirm that my Department received detailed applications from Galway County Council in respect of 5 projects. These applications from Galway County Council will be considered in the context of available Exchequer funding and overall national priorities.

I expect to be in a position to announce details of the 2012 Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme in the near future.
