asked the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries if he is aware of the need for repair facilities for fishing vessels operating off the Galway and Mayo coast; and if he will arrange for improvements to be carried out at Drinagh, Errislannan, Clifden, County Galway, to enable provision to be made for such facilities.

What is involved here is the provision of improved slipping and berthing facilities at Drinagh Harbour for use by a local firm of boat-builders. I have no funds at my disposal which could be used to assist such a project. I understand that Bord Iascaigh Mhara have put the firm concerned in touch with the Industrial Development Authority and the county development officer with a view to the carrying out of the improvements in question.
