Vol. 470 No. 7

Written Answers. - Coastal Erosion.

Dermot Ahern

Ceist:

278 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for the Marine the current position regarding the application by Louth County Council for coastal erosion funding to enable it to carry out remedial repairs along the County Louth coast, particularly in the Annagassan area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19753/96]

The Department of the Marine is grant-aiding Louth County Council, under the Operational Programme for Environmental Services, to undertake a scoping study of the coastal processes at Annagassan in order to ascertain what remedial protection works are required. This study will be completed by the end of the year and will inform future decisions on the erosion at Annagassan. In regard to the other priority locations identified by the council as requiring attention, these will continue to be considered over the remaining years of the operational programme.
