asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state when it is proposed to introduce proposals for legislation to give effect to the recommendations made by the Tribunal set up to inquire into the working of ports and harbours.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Working of Ports and Harbours.
I am not yet in a position to indicate when legislation on this subject will be introduced.
In view of the distress prevailing at some of the smaller ports will the Minister promise to expedite legislation?
It is not very easy to expedite legislation of this kind, which is highly complicated and which will take a long time to prepare.
