The development, management and upkeep of pier and quayside infratructure serving island communities, including the provision of car parking facilities and supporting infrastructure at piers and harbours, is entirely a matter for the relevant Local Authority in most cases, and for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in the case of Ros an Mhíl.

My Department has no role in the management or operation of such parking facilities or in the administration of permits.
