30 Mr. Spring asked the Minister for the Marine if he has any proposals in relation to updating the law dealing with shipwrecks off our coast.
34 Mr. Spring asked the Minister for the Marine if he will outline the number of shipwrecks which have occurred off the coast of Ireland in the past two years; the course of action taken by him to deal with such situations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take questions Nos. 30 and 34 together.
The number of vessels reported to my Department as having been wrecked on the Irish Coast was six in 1989 and three in 1990.
