FINGAL COUNTY COUNCIL STILL HOPING THAT LIGHTHOUSE AT BALBRIGGAN HARBOUR CAN BE RESTORED

Local T.D. and Green Party Leader, Trevor Sargent, has once again sought the restoration of the lighthouse at Balbriggan Harbour which has been without a lantern since 1960. Fingal County Council has stated that it still wishes to see the lighthouse restored, but added that “unfortunately the F.Á.S. scheme at Bremore Castle is not yet at a stage where additional project work can be taken and therefore no commitment at this stage can be given as to when the lighthouse can be given detailed consideration.”

In response Deputy Sargent said that he would welcome contact from any other authority or person who could provide the necessary resources to have the lighthouse restored, given that Fingal County Council was interested in seeing the restoration carried out but, unfortunately, due to lack of resources was not in a position to do this work immediately.
