COMHAIRLE CONTAE FHINE GALL
FINGAL COUNTY COUNCIL
BALBRIGGAN/SWORDS AREA COMMITTEE MEETING
[Services A – Operational Matters]
Thursday, 10th November, 2016
ITEM NO. 59
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update of progress on reinstating the corner
stone which has been missing from the harbour pier since October 2015?"
Reply:
All works to Harbours are, by nature, very specialised, particularly so when the
Harbour is a Protected Structure as is the case in Rush. It appears that there is a
second stone that requires replacing which currently lies submerged at the
entrance to the harbour. Any proposed works will require clearance by the
Council’s Conservation Officer.
It is proposed to prepare and submit a proposal to the Department of
Agriculture, Food and the Marine for funding to carry out refurbishment works to
Harbours under the Council’s control. This proposal will include the works
referred to.
