: A scheme for development work on the pier at Port, Inver, County Donegal has been approved. The date of commencement of the work will depend on the availability of the necessary finance and I am not yet in a position to indicate an approximate date.

: In view of the fact that it is such a small port and very little finance will be available, could the Minister give us a commitment that he will make it available out of the £0.5 million which is in the Estimate this year for these works?

: I am afraid I cannot give that commitment. As the Deputy said, the total cost involved is not substantial but, as he must be aware, money is a very scarce commodity at the moment.
