It is proposed to expend a total of £22,000 in the current financial year on the continuation of the protection work at Rosslare. The work to be done comprises mainly the erection of additional timber groynes and the extension of stake breastworks along the shore as well as planting of grasses at the northern end.
It is proposed to spend a similar amount next year to complete the works.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary say at this stage whether or not, in his opinion and in the opinion of his engineers, the work has been effective?
Yes. They are very satisfied with the work.
