[27328/99]

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

I am advised by Cork County Council that the study on coast protection at Youghal, which is being undertaken for the local authority by consulting engineers, commenced at the end of July and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

The options and funding needs for coast protection works at Youghal will be assessed further when the results of the consultant's study are available.
