Question:80 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the involvement his Department has in the Portmarnock dunes conservation scheme in Fingal, County Dublin, in view of the opinion of several experts that the reliance on hard engineering measures is not in the best interests of dune conservation in the long-term and the need to ensure the £200,000 allocated for the dunes conservation plan is spent wisely and well.
