The Government has announced a €35m scheme to rejuvenate local authority public piers and harbours.

Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue said the scheme is proposed for funding under the EU Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR) fund, and was one of the recommendations of the seafood sector taskforce that was established by the minister following Brexit.
