Minister O Cuiv said that the proposed works, which will include the construction of a sea wall at the south facing shore;
dredging of the inner harbour;
construction of a slipway; and placing of a reinforced concrete slab on the old pier; will be of huge benefit to the islanders.

The total cost of these works is 0.5m to be provided by Galway County Council.
