asked the Minister for Fisheries if it is proposed to carry out any repair or improvement works at Balbriggan harbour, County Dublin.

Balbriggan harbour is under the control of the Dublin Port and Docks Board. Repairs and maintenance of the pier and harbour are a matter for the board in the first instance.
However, my Department have sought an engineering report and estimate of cost from the Office of Public Works on the dredging of the harbour and other works sought by the Balbriggan Town Commissioners and the Balbriggan Fishermen's Association. Until this report is received and examined I cannot say what improvements, if any, will be carried out at this harbour in the fishery interest.
