Basically the Department of the Marine. The Department of the Marine at the moment have an operation in progress to take the oil off the wrecked ship which is really the main problem still remaining. The Department of the Environment, through the county council, have responsibility for keeping the beaches cleaned up when the oil comes ashore. Therefore, it is between those two Departments but the primary responsibility is with the Department of the Marine.
