A grant of the full cost of the work, subject to a maximum of £340,000 was authorised in 1961 for a scheme of harbour improvements at Galway. The Harbour Commissioners were recently authorised to invite tenders for the work.
A scheme of dock deepening etc. at Limerick, for which a grant up to a maximum of £79,000 was authorised in 1955, is still in progress. A balance of £32,572 remains unexpended to date from this grant.
I have not at present any applications before me in respect of the other harbours referred to by the Deputy.
