asked the Minister for Finance if he will state when the Office of Public Works intend to start the work for the construction of a slip at Howth Harbour, and if he is aware that plans and estimates for this work have been prepared and have remained in the hands of the Office of Public Works for a considerable time past.

Consideration of the proposal has, therefore, been deferred during the present emergency.
