Amharc ar fhreagraSligo Harbour Commissioners have sought clarification from my Department regarding the applicability of section 157 of the Harbours Act 1946 to a property transaction proposed by them. As this issue involves a matter of legal interpretation, the Chief State Solicitor's office has been requested to clarify the position. My officials have been in contact with the Chief State Solicitor's office and have been informed that the matter is under consideration and a reply will be issued as soon as possible.
