St. Michael’s Rowing Club boathouse access
Andrews asked why the rowing club could not use the old lifeboat house to store its skiffs. Begley and the Ceann Comhairle said the matter was outside the scope of the tabled pier-restoration question, prompting a brief procedural exchange.
Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that there is an old lifeboat house just before you come to the entrance to the East Pier? Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that that lifeboat house is required by St. Michael's Rowing Club to hold two rowing skiffs? Would the Parliamentary Secretary tell the House why St. Michael's Rowing Club, which is a long established rowing club catering for over 1,000 people, is not being allowed to use the facilities of the old lifeboat house? Two rotting rowing boats owned by nobody are at present lying in this old lifeboat house.

The Deputy asked when it is my intention to restore the East Pier, Dún Laoghaire to its pre-temporary car-ferry condition. There was nothing about the lifeboat house.

With great respect, the Chair does not know where the old lifeboat house is on the East Pier.

That is not the question tabled here, there is nothing about a lifeboat in this question.

If the Deputy has a relevant question to put, the Chair will be happy to facilitate him.
