Glen Pier, Ballinskelligs, is owned by Kerry County Council and responsibility for its maintenance and development rests with that Local Authority in the first instance and its parent Department, the Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government thereafter.

My Department does however provide limited funding to assist coastal Local Authorities in carrying out small scale projects for the development and repair of Local Authority owned piers, harbours and slipways under the annual Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme, subject to available Exchequer funding and overall national priorities.

Any application submitted by Kerry County Council in respect of capital development works at Glen Pier under a future Local Authority capital programme will be given due consideration in the context of the criteria set out, available Exchequer funding and overall national priorities.
