Question:36 Mr. Sheehan asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the names and locations of the piers and harbours that funding is provided for in his 1998 programme. [16233/98]
Written Answers. - Harbours and Piers.
My Department's Vote makes provision of £2.965 million in connection with the upgrading and development of infrastructure and facilities at fishery harbours during 1998. The locations in respect of which works are proposed this year are as follows: Ardgroom, County Cork, Burtonport, County Donegal, Carlingford, County Louth, Castletownbere, County Cork, Cromane, County Kerry, Crosshaven, County Cork, Dingle, County Kerry, Dunmore East, County Waterford, Howth, County Dublin, Killybegs, County Donegal, Portmagee, County Kerry and Rossaveal, County Galway.
I am considering also the provision of funding for further works at Kilmore Quay, County Wexford and expect to finalise the matter shortly.
Further funding of £300,000 is available for development works at smaller harbours. A portion of this funding has been committed to development projects at Cleggan and Rossadilisk in County Galway. I am critically reviewing, at present, proposals for utilisation of the remaining funding.
