asked the Minister for Finance if he is aware that, during a recent storm, a number of ferry and fishing boats were damaged at Valentia Harbour; and if he is now in a position to state when examination of the question of improvement of the pier at Reenard Point, Valentia Harbour, will be completed.

I am not yet in a position to state when the examination of this matter will be completed.

Is the Minister aware that the examination of this question of improvement of the pier at Reenard Point, Valentia Harbour, has been going on for about 30 years and that it is about time something were done in the matter?

It is being examined.
