136 Deputy Brendan Kenneally asked the Minister for Transport the position regarding the provision of a pontoon at a location (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12099/10]

My Department has recently received an application for funding for repair or replacement of the pontoon at Glengarriff, a pier that is under the control of the local authority. Under the 1946 Harbours Act, I have responsibility for six regional harbours only and I have no function in the provision of finance for this matter.
