Ceist:96 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if his attention has been drawn to a previous commitment for the sanction of a ?100,000 start up grant for the planning stage of the River Robe catchment plan for the catchment management initiative and to the fact that the catchment group has now been informed by the Western Regional Fisheries Board that no money is available for the project; if his attention has further been drawn to the seriously polluted condition of the River Robe which is the main spawning river for trout from Lough Mask; if he will take the necessary steps to ensure that the promised initial funding is made available to the Robe catchment group; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
