Major infrastructural improvement works for Inis Oírr Pier are expected to be completed before the end of 2027.
The proposed development would include the construction of a 90m long concrete pier and seawall, along with raising the existing seawall.
The Aran Islands pier, which receives over 3,000 visitors a day during peak season, currently deals with wave over-topping and other safety deficits.
The pier will remain operational during the works, with the contractor to consult with ferry operators on a schedule.
