asked the Minister for Finance if he will state what sum of money has been allocated for the improvement of the slipway at Castletownbere, County Cork.
Ceisteann—Questions. Oral Answers. - Castletownbere Slipway.
The estimated cost of improving the slip at Castletownbere is £1,400, and it is intended to make a grant of £1,050 (75 per cent.) available towards the cost of the work, subject to a contribution of £350 (25 per cent.) by the Cork County Council. I expect to be in a position to make a formal offer of a grant on this basis to the Cork County Council in the near future. The work is not, however, suitable for execution in the winter months.
