231 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, further to Parliamentary Question No. 75 of 27 March, the projects and the projected or estimated cost of each that are awaiting decisions and that are to address problems of coastal erosion; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9771/03]

Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. D. Ahern)

In July 2002 my Department requested all coastal local authorities to submit proposals for coast protection works for the period 2003-06. In all, 195 proposals with an estimated total cost of over €120 million were submitted. I will arrange to have details of those proposals forwarded directly to the Deputy during the coming week.
