Question:69 Mr. J. Walsh asked the Minister for the Marine the plans, if any, he has for the development of Baltimore harbour, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17612/96]
Written Answers. - Cork Harbour Development.
I refer the Deputy to my reply to his question tabled on 25 July 1996 in which I stated that the mid-term review of the operational programme for transport 1994-9, including the ports element, would commence soon.
e evaluation of the operational programme is under way. Until the review is finalised, I am not in a position to say whether there will be any capacity to fund the Baltimore or other suitable projects that meet EU selection criteria during the second half of the programme.
