680 Dr. Cowley asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if his Department in association with Údarás will carry out a structural survey of Mulranny Pier, Mulranny, County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14462/07]

Údarás na Gaeltachta has no function in the matter referred to by the Deputy. However, I understand that an application form for the small Gaeltacht piers scheme, which is administered by my Department, was recently sent to the Deputy. On receipt of the completed application form, my officials, in association with officials from Mayo County Council, will assess the application, including the need for a structural survey, in accordance with the normal criteria.
