Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. Fahey)

I refer the Deputy to my reply to his Question No. 40 on 23 November 2000.

I have no information on sea bed levels generally in Dublin Bay. However, I am informed by Dublin Corporation that the study of changes in the sea bed level at Bull Island, which my Department has grant-aided, is expected to be completed by the end of October 2001.
