I propose to take Questions Nos. 16, 42 and 50 together.
I have already signalled my intention to establish the Marine Institute. With this objective in mind, I am currently reviewing all matters relating to the establishment of the institute. In particular, I have given considerable thought to the composition of the board and I will be finalising my considerations in that regard fairly shortly.
Work is progressing in my Department on the staffing, budgetary and other administrative and policy issues involved in setting up the institute. Many of these issues are complex, requiring a process of consultation and, indeed, negotiation, but I am satisfied that good incremental progress can be made in the short term, in line with my objective of establishment at the earliest possible date.
