As the Deputy will be aware, the legal responsibility for the disposal of Verolme Cork Dockyard rests with the official receiver who is currently engaged in active negotiations with a number of interested parties concerning the future of the yard. I would assure the Deputy that the continuing objective of the receiver is to dispose of Verolme in a way which will result in renewed and increased utilisation of the facility.
