Vol. 430 No. 8

Written Answers. - Purchase of New Ferry.

Jim Mitchell

Question:

218 Mr. J. Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he is supporting an application by the Irish Continental Group to the EC for the purchase of a new ferry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I would refer the Deputy to my replies to similar questions on 27 April and 5 May 1993 in which I confirmed my support for EC funding of external access transport sevices, with specific priority being sought for direct Ro-Ro and Lo-Lo shipping services to the European mainland.

I have nothing further to add to my recent replies which dealt comprehensively with this issue.
