asked the Minister for Finance if he will state when the Balbriggan and Howth Harbours will be dredged.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dredging of Balbriggan and Howth Harbours.
I am glad to inform the Deputy the Commissioners of Public Works hope to carry out dredging at Howth Harbour this year and to make available to the Dublin Port and Docks Board a dredger for Balbriggan.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary state when the dredger will be available for Howth and Balbriggan?
Only for the fact that the dredger was engaged in another area and did not get away as soon as we anticipated it would be at it at the moment. I can assure the Deputy that it will be available within the near future.
