332. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will allocate moneys for the remediation works at Haulbowline Island in Cobh, County Cork of which €40 million is required to fund the next intensive phase of the planned programme of works for the island, which is of enormous concern to persons resident in the lower harbour. [17177/16]
View answerThe Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has Ministerial responsibility for the remediation of Haulbowline Island and Cork County Council is acting as his agent to deliver the project. A total of €8m has been provided in his Department's estimate for 2016. The amount to be included for the project in his Department's Vote for 2017, and future years, is a matter to be determined by him as part of the annual estimates process, in consultation with my Department.
