544. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department will carry out dredging/clearing at Helvick Pier, County Waterford as lifeboats cannot gain access; if his Department will carry out dredging at Dungarvan Harbour also; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Both Helvick Pier and Dungarvan Harbour are the responsibility of Waterford City and County Council. The responsibility for the development and maintenance of local authority owned piers, harbours and slipways rests with each local authority in the first instance. The primary governance role for local authorities rests with the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage and any wider funding issues for local authorities should be addressed to that Minister.
