Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail (i) any works carried out; and (ii) the amount spent, on maintenance to the seawall at The Parade and Shore Street, Donaghadee, over the last 10 years.

Answer:

Over the past 10 years, my Department has carried out a number of interventions to the section of seawall along Parade, Donaghadee for which it is responsible. These have included routine upkeep and repairs following major weather events, such as those completed in January 2022 and January 2026 to address storm‑related stone displacement and footway defects.

More recently, in February 2026, my Department carried out further repairs to both the seawall and the adjoining footway following structural damage caused by Storm Chandra.

The value of maintenance works recorded by the Department on this section of the seawall over the last 10 years is approximately £20,000.
