asked the Minister for Tourism, Fisheries and Forestry if he has received a report from the Office of Public Works in connection with the dredging of Dingle Harbour in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 81 and 82 together. An engineering report and an estimate of the cost has been received from the Office of Public Works in respect of the dredging of Dingle Harbour. The report is at present being examined in my Department and until this examination is completed and the project is economically appraised, I cannot say what expenditure, if any, would be justified on the dredging of this harbour.
