asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries if in view of the fact that the Wexford County Council, through lack of funds, are unable to undertake the dredging of Duncannon Harbour, County Wexford, which is silting up very rapidly, he will recommend the Minister for Finance to advance moneys from the Unemployment Relief Fund for that purpose, and thereby remedy the complaints contained in the memorial sent to his Department recently by the fishermen from that area.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dredging of Duncannon Harbour.
I understand that the Wexford County Council is responsible for the maintenance of Duncannon Harbour. My Department has no funds for such purposes and it is, therefore, unable to contribute towards the cost. The latter part of the question should more properly be addressed to the Minister for Finance.
