Vol. 536 No. 4
81 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the works which have been carried out to date on the slipway at Killybegs Pier, County Donegal; and the length of time it will take to complete the work. [14352/01]
The following works have been carried out to date on the new slipway at Killybegs Pier: stone filling of the slipway and adjacent boat hardstand; drilling and blasting, using high explosives, a toe trench to provide end of pile restraint for sheet piles due to poor ground conditions; installation to set in toe trench of 95 metres of sheet pile wall so as to provide berthage on eastern face of slipway for smaller fishing vessels; and installation and testing of 66 concrete bearing piles.
Tidal restrictions, poor ground conditions, procurement procedures and some technical difficulties with the bearing pile installation, which have now been overcome, have added to the planned duration for the construction of this project. The estimated completion date for the project is now autumn 2001.
82 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if a grant of £60,000 has been made available to Meenaghane Pier, Causeway, County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14363/01]
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that I have recently approved the provision of funding of £45,000 to Kerry County Council towards a total cost of £60,000 for a new slipway and to raise the existing stormwall at Meenogahane Pier, County Kerry under my Department's Fishery Harbours Development Programme for 2001.
83 Mr. Andrews asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the plans there are for the rehabilitation of the Carlisle Pier, Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14364/01]
As the Deputy is aware, the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company is responsible, under the Harbours Act, 1996, for the management, control, operation and development of Dún Laoghaire Harbour.
I am advised by the company that it considers that any plan for the rehabilitation of Carlisle Pier has to provide access to the general public and following a consultancy procedure there have been several expressions of interest in progressing development along these lines.
