Question:95 Mr. Dukes asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if his attention has been drawn to the cost and benefit analysis of Clogherhead Harbour development proposals carried out for Louth County Council by a firm of consulting engineers which concludes, inter alia, that the ratio of the estimated capital cost of development is 2.2 indicating that the project would have financial viability; if he will, on this basis, allocate funding for the development of the pier; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
