Vol. 166 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Extension of Wexford Pier.

asked the Minister for Lands if it is intended to extend the pier of Kilmore quay, County Wexford, and, if so, when.

A proposal for extension of the pier at Kilmore quay is to be considered as part of a general survey of fishing ports. I cannot say at present when any such improvement may be carried out.

In view of the fact that this is not an all-weather port and that it is a very important fishing centre would the Minister not consider giving it priority?

It will be one of the ports to be visited by the consultant when he comes to this country.

I hope the Minister will give it priority in view of the fact that it is not an all-weather port.

I visited the harbour myself and I am well aware of its deficiencies.
