288 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for the Marine the current position in relation to the cost being charged on the lease of the foreshore at Buncrana, County Donegal; the reason for the inequity in pricing compared to similar areas in the immediate locality; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6673/97]
A lease of foreshore in respect of a slipway at Buncrana, County Donegal, was offered to Donegal County Council on 15 July 1996. The rent for the foreshore site which was assessed by the Valuation Office was disputed by the local authority. In the light of representations made, the Valuation Office has been asked to reconsider the matter and I understand that a valuer will be visiting the site shortly and discussing the situation with Donegal County Council with a view to reaching agreement on the rent.
