Date Published: 20-Apr-2009

Last week a deputation went to the Department of the Marine looking for the grants which were originally promised
Four local people signed for a loan totalling a quarter of a million euro seven years ago expecting government funding for the project.
Later Planning permission was granted for the 34 berth marina, an extension to the community hall and ancillary works by the County Council.
However the permission expired last month and now the Marina Company is seeking to extend the planning permission until next year.
