Vol. 521 No. 2
42 Mrs. B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if he will make a statement on the findings of the recent Coastwatch Ireland survey on the extent of coastline and harbour pollution; and the steps being taken to deal with the problems of marine pollution identified in the report. [16682/00]
I advised the House of the position in this matter on 10 May 2000 when replying to a similar question.
I mentioned on that occasion that I was pleased to note the commitment given in the report to proceed with the clean seas project of which the survey forms part. I confirm that officials of my Department are continuing to work with Coastwatch Ireland and other interested parties, including Departments and agencies, both here and in Wales, with a view to achieving the desired improvements.
