46 Mr. Hilliard asked the Minister for the Marine the way in which the £1.7 million provided for in Vote 30 subhead V of the 1991 Book of Estimates (Abridged Version) will be spent.
The £1.7 million provided for in Vote 30, subhead V, of the abridged version of the 1991 Book of Estimates is to meet the cost, in the year 1991, of the main recommendations of the Doherty Report on Air-Sea Rescue Service, which were approved by the Government, in particular the cost of a search and rescue helicopter service contract.
47 Mr. Hilliard asked the Minister for the Marine the way in which the £1.95 million in Vote 30 subhead E3 of the 1991 Book of Estimates for Public Services (Abridged Version) will be spent.
The primary purpose of the 1991 provision in subhead E3 is for the maintenance and operation of Dún Laoghaire Harbour. A small amount goes towards the maintenance of a number of minor marine structures on the west coast for which the Minister for the Marine has responsibility.
