Officials from my Department attended a public information meeting at Cape Clear on 24th August 2012 where the Departments proposals for the development works at the Bull Nose Pier were outlined and discussed.

There was broad welcome for the proposed development works and I am happy to confirm that I have allocated funding under my Departments 2012 Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development programme to enable the completion of the preparatory consent works with a view to submitting the necessary planning application by mid October 2012.

I trust this clarifies the position.
