asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state what is the cause of the delay in reconstructing the pier at Fenit Harbour, County Kerry; and if he is in a position to say when he will give sanction to have the work advertised.

A great deal of work has been involved in the examination of the plans, specification and contract documents in relation to the proposed works at Tralee and Fenit pier and harbour but it is hoped that it will be possible to complete the examination at an early date.
