asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he is aware that one of the jetties at Sligo Harbour is in a state of collapse, and, if so, if he is prepared to sanction the payment of a grant towards the erection of a new one.

The Sligo Harbour Commissioners have applied for a grant to meet the full cost of two concrete jetties as replacements for a number of wooden jetties which are stated to be beyond repair. These proposals are being examined in my Department.
