Anger as pontoon funding vanishes
East Cork Municipal District councillors were fuming when it emerged a claimed assurance of funding from Marine Minister Simon Coveney and east Cork Fine Gael TD David Stanton was no longer forthcoming.
The 25mx5m pontoon, costing an estimated €170,000, had been planned as a summer fixture at Nealon’s Quay, close to Youghal’s town centre. Six permanent visitor moorings, estimated at €35,000, were to accompany the installation.
