Tony Gregory

Ceist:

86 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if, further to Parliamentary Question No. 305 of 8 December 1998, he will grant aid the Irish Seal Sanctuary to develop a seven acre coastal site given to it by Fingal County Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20147/99]

Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (Mr. Walsh)

As I have indicated in replies to earlier questions, I consider that support for the activities and operations of the Irish Seal Sanctuary is not a matter for my Department.
