asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is yet in a position to advise the Sligo Harbour Commissioners when his Department will carry out the improvements to Sligo harbour, for which application was made some years ago.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Improvements to Sligo Harbour.
State assistance has already been provided in respect of Sligo harbour by grant of £2,000 towards the cost of a cattle lairage and by a grant of £2,750 on a survey to ascertain dredging requirements. Proposals for certain works were submitted by the Harbour Commissioners in October, 1946, but more detailed information would be required before a decision could be taken as to the payment of a grant from State funds to give effect to these proposals or any modification of them. The matter is being considered and I am taking steps to see that a decision will be expedited.
