Joseph Doyle
Ceist:23 Mr. Doyle asked the Minister for the Marine when he intends to make a decision regarding an application by Dublin Port and Docks Board for his consent, under the Harbours Act, 1946, for the sale of a property at North Wall, Dublin 1; if his attention has been drawn to the heavy burden that the delay imposed on Dublin Port at a time when a major capital development programme is in hand and every effort is being made to stabilise costs; and if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that the delay in giving consent has cost the board almost £250,000 to date and costs nearly £5,000 each week.
