Question:

60 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources when work will commence on the £20 million development of Killybegs harbour, County Donegal; the source of this funding in view of the fact that only £2 million is available in the balance of the Operational Programme for Fisheries 1994-99; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3883/98]

Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Dr. Woods)

I am conscious of the need for development works at Killybegs and I am committed to seeking the additional funding required to address the immediate and long-term infrastructural needs of the port. I am pursuing the matter as a priority.
