Vol. 316 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tramore Strand, County Waterford, Wreck.

21.

asked the Minister for Tourism and Transport if he will instruct the appropriate authority to remove the broken hulk on Tramore strand, County Waterford and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have no statutory powers to direct the removal of a wreck from a beach. The removal of such a wreck is a matter, in the first instance, for the owner. A harbour or conservancy authority or the Commissioners of Irish Lights can also remove a wreck if they consider it an obstruction or danger to navigation.
