195 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 425 and 429 of 17 May 2011, if this lease is finalised; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4667/12]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Deputy Simon Coveney)

As indicated in my reply to previous Parliamentary Questions regarding this matter, the grant of a foreshore lease to Mayo County Council for the construction of a slipway at Kilcummin Pier, Killala, Co Mayo received Ministerial approval on 17 June 2010. The Chief State Solicitor's Office (CSSO) was requested to draft the lease documentation. My Department is maintaining ongoing contact with the CSSO in relation to this matter with a view to having the lease finalised as soon as possible.
