Galway Bay fm newsroom - It'll be next year at the earliest when improvement works are carried out at the pier on Inis Oirr.
The County Council says contract documents for the works are being drawn up - but the works are dependent on the allocation of government funding.
Connemara area councillor Sean O' Tuairisg says boats are finding it difficult to come into the quay due to a build up of silt at the location.
Senior council engineer Michael Timmins says it's hoped the works can go to tender by the end of the year - but this won't happen unless the government gives the go-ahead for funding.
