asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state whether the harbours of Bullock and Coliemore at Dalkey have been dredged recently; and if these harbours will be preserved for the sea traffic for which they were originally constructed.

The Dublin Port and Docks Board are responsible for the maintenance of Bullock Harbour and Coliemore Harbour at Dalkey. Any representations regarding the dredging and improvement of these harbours should be addressed to that authority.
