Written Answers. - Castletownbere (Cork) Ice Plant.
Access for fishing boats to the ice plant at Castletownbere has been impeded by other fishing boats from time to time. Steps taken to remedy the situation include signposting the ice plant berthage and advising all pier users of the need to keep this berthage clear to permit ease of access to the ice plant. The situation will be kept under review to ensure that a supply of ice will be readily available to fishing boats which need it.
