Cavan): In September, 1975, the Foynes Harbour Trustees submitted to my Department a preliminary report prepared by their consulting engineers on the provision of improved harbour facilities at Foynes. The proposed works were then estimated to cost £1,480,000.
Following initial consideration by my Department and discussion with the harbour trustees, it was agreed that the trustees would update and clarify certain aspects associated with the proposed developments. I am awaiting the further observations of the trustees on these points.
No decisions have yet been taken as to how a scheme of harbour works at Foynes, if approved, might be financed.
