asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he will consider providing ready access to the new ESB power station to be erected on the Wexford shore by the establishment of a ferry service from the County Waterford side of the Suir to the site of the ESB project.

15.

asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he will take steps to provide rail transport from Waterford City to the site of the ESB power station to be erected on the Wexford shore so as to ensure ready access to much-needed employment for the workless of the city.

I propose with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle to take Questions Nos. 14 and 15 together.

The provision of any transport facilities which may be required in connection with the new ESB station at Kilmokea is a matter to be explored in the first instance between the parties concerned.

Who are the parties concerned?

The contractors, the workers, the ESB and the transport company.
