Vol. 428 No. 1
351 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he has responsibility for the securing of the embankments provided by the Land Commission some years ago at Fenit Island, County Kerry, as this area is subject to very serious erosion.
None of the Land Acts imposes any obligation on the Land Commission to maintain embankments. However, in the case of Fenit Island, there exists a small fund to assist in the maintenance of the embankments in question. The fund is held by the Public Trustee, who is an official of my Department, and is administered under a Deed of Trust by trustees selected by and representing the affected land owners.
