Vol. 486 No. 6

Written Answers. - Mooring Facilities.

Michael D. Higgins

Ceist:

251 Mr. M. Higgins asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands if her attention has been drawn to the fact that a person (details supplied) in County Leitrim submitted revised proposals to the Waterways Service of the Office of Public Works on 6 June 1997 relating to his application for mooring facilities on the Shannon/Erne waterway; when it is expected that the revised proposals will be examined by the engineering section; when a decision will be made in relation to the case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3056/98]

The revised proposals submitted by the person referred to by the Deputy have been examined by the Waterways Service division of Dúchas —the Heritage Service. A meeting with the person in question was held in December 1997 to discuss aspects of the proposals and I understand that broad agreement was reached, subject to written confirmation by him. As soon as this confirmation is received, my Department will make a formal response to the proposals.
