The Office of Public Works (OPW) allocated funding of €100,000 to Kerry County Council under the Minor Flood Mitigation Works & Coastal Protection Scheme in February, 2012 for embankment strengthening works at Cromane Lower. The Council has already drawn down this funding. The OPW is not responsible for the upkeep of this embankment.

Following the coastal storms, which affected the western seaboard in December 2013 and January 2014, Kerry County Council was allocated €1,243,270 for a programme of repair works, which included funding for a project at Cromane Lower. All funding has been expended.
