Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 October 2007
539 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources when a foreshore lease will be put in place between his Department and the Port of Cork in relation to a pier (details supplied) in County Cork. [22632/07]
View answerThis is a long-standing case involving leasing arrangements put in place initially in 1937.
Following refurbishment of the pier in the late 1990s, the Port of Cork indicated a wish to alter the leasing arrangement with a view to ultimately acquiring the freehold of the area of foreshore in question.
The matter is being given urgent consideration by my Department and an early meeting will be sought with the Port of Cork to advance matters.
