Brendan Howlin

Ceist:

53 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the additional funding, if any, he will provide to improve the entrance to Kilmore Quay, County Wexford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21976/98]

There has recently been a very significant and successful investment of over £3 million in the development of Kilmore Quay. Proposals were subsequently made for further dredging works at the turning circle near the mouth of the harbour. Following discussions with Wexford County Council a contract has been placed for the necessary preparatory site investigations. The funding of the dredging works will be met under the fishery harbours development programme for 1999.
