asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries when the review of plans for the proposed major fishery harbour at the entrance to Lough Atalia at Galway Harbour will be completed; and if he will make a statement in the matter.

I expect the review to be completed in the very near future and I will then make a statement on the matter.
May I ask the Parliamentary Secretary if he remembers—it was just before he came into office—that a new fishery vessel was placed in Roundstone and was not taken out even once in the following year?
That is a separate question.
It is relevant to this issue. If we are going to waste public money on developing a new harbour in Galway Bay, it does not surprise me that Government expenditure is so high. There is no answer, because it cannot be answered.
I do not recall anybody saying that we will waste money building a major fishery harbour at Galway.
A new fishery vessel was put at Roundstone and was not taken out for 12 months afterwards.
