Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Dr. Woods)

My Department has arranged for the acquisition of four new steel pontoons, to facilitate the berthing of small boats at Dunmore East. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the pontoons are due to be delivered this week and the Department will be working to complete their installation during the following week.
