On receipt of an application from Donegal County Council in 2008, my Department allocated a grant of €240,185 to enable the Council to appoint consulting engineers to prepare contract documents towards the development of the pier in question. This work has since been completed. My Department understands that Donegal County Council has not as yet received a foreshore licence for the proposed development and therefore no formal application has been made to my Department for funding to extend the pier.
