Comment on this
(Cavan-Monaghan): My Department have approved a grant for the dredging of the approach channel at Purteen Harbour. Work at the site commenced last August and is in progress.
During the course of the work it was found that repairs to the pier were necessary and this matter is being attended to. Furthermore, the fishermen have requested that some other improvement works be carried out at the harbour and in this regard an engineering report together with an estimate of cost is awaited.
