Written Answers. - Coastal Protection.
Primary responsibility for public coastal protection works rests with the relevant local authority. My Department received from Meath County Council a draft report by consulting engineers on coastal protection works from Bettystown to Laytown. My Department has in hand a foreshore application from Meath County Council concerning the proposed works and further details, including the final report by the commission engineers, are awaited.
