My Department or enterprise agencies do not provide supports for this type of development. However, the promoter could engage with the Local Enterprise Office (LEO) who may be able to offer advice on any other form of support from various sources. At the appropriate time, the relevant Local Enterprise Office could also examine whatever spin-out projects that might emerge to consider if they would fall within the range of activity eligible for LEO support.

There is a possibility that Fáilte Ireland or the Local Authority in the area could be sources of funding support. In addition, if the marina is a Gaeltacht location the promoters could also check with Údarás na Gaeltachta if any form of support could be considered.
