Answer

I understand that the harbour at Kircubbin is in private ownership and therefore is the responsibility of the land owner. Concerns have been raised previously with my officials about the erosion issue and also about the lack of a secure boundary to this private facility. These concerns have been passed on to the harbour owner and the Health and Safety Executive.
