Vol. 339 No. 8

Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - County Donegal Harbour.

8.

asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry when it is proposed to commence the dredging of Burtonport Harbour, County Donegal.

The fishery harbour improvement programme for 1983 cannot be finalised pending completion of a review of the published financial allocations which is at present being undertaken by the Government.

Can the Minister ensure that we have a speedy settlement to this problem as the silt level is causing great hardship to the fishermen of this area?

I appreciate that. I am involved also in that problem under my other hat in relation to the Department of the Gaeltacht, and the Deputy can be assured of a speedy solution provided the finances are available.
