As the reply is of a technical nature I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.
Following are the proposed works under the improvement scheme for Arklow Harbour for which a full-cost State grant of £350,000 was approved:
(a) dredging of the channel and berths to required minimum depths;
(b) provision of
(i) a turning basin capable of accommodating ships of 300 feet in length;
(ii) two new berths on the north side of the harbour;
(iii) a new berth on the south side;
(c) necessary repairs of the North and South Piers;
(d) sheet piling at the North Pier elbow and the removal of obstacles in the river at the elbow.
