asked the Minister for Finance if he will state when the survey for the dredging of Howth Harbour was made, and whether, in view of the fact that this harbour is badly silted and fishing boats are having difficulty in entering it, when the tide is low, he will arrange to have dredging operations carried out at an early date.
