200. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to dredge the harbour in Dunmore East to ensure ease of access of bigger fishing vessels to that harbour; if his Department has any plans to improve facilities at Dunmore East Harbour; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9879/14]
View answerThe Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Capital Development Programme which my Department administers on an annual basis provides funding for capital works at the six Fishery Harbour Centres including Dunmore East.
As with other potential projects in the six Fishery Harbour Centres, dredging at Dunmore East will be considered for inclusion under the 2014 programme on the basis of available exchequer funding and competing priorities.
