Question: Councillor D. Smith

“To ask the Chief Executive if any money has been allocated towards the
refurbishment of Skerries Harbour, If so how much has been allocated, exactly
what works will be carried out and can the Chief Executive give a timeline of
when these works will take place?”

Reply:
No specific amount has been allocated in respect of Skerries Harbour nor indeed
has any specific list of works been identified apart from the annual ongoing
maintenance.
An application has been submitted to the FLAG group for funding towards
commissioning a report on a number of aspects relating to the 4 harbours under
the control of the Council including an “audit” of existing facilities and
identification of deficiencies in facilities. A list of works was recently submitted
on behalf of the fishermen and these will also be considered. It is expected that
the report will be available in Q3 of 2018. In the meantime general maintenance
work will continue.
