Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 June 2015
380. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 457 of 9 June 2015, if he will confirm the purpose for which his Department is currently using the land; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23720/15]
View answerI can inform the Deputy that the area concerned is fenced to place dry waste skips, wooden pallets and fishing net material.
For dry waste, skips are ordered when a certain amount of waste accumulates and then removed from the precincts of the Fishery Harbour Centre. The area is in ongoing use as a place to keep these skips, which, from that location, may be attended if required during and outside of normal harbour working hours and also at weekends. As with all operational issues, my Department will keep the matter under review and will liaise directly with the Coast Guard should the position change.
