Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Dempsey)

The Office of Public Works has completed the site investigation which is the first stage in the design process for the provision of additional mooring facilities at Ballyleague.

The detailed design work for the project will be undertaken in 1994 but funds will not be available to allow construction work to be commenced until 1995.
