asked the Minister for the Marine if he is in a position to allocate funds to improve and dredge Dingle Harbour, County Kerry on the basis of the preliminary report from the Office of Public Works.

As indicated in my replies of 27 January 1988 and 4 February 1988 to questions relating to a development plan for Dingle Harbour, a working group under the aegis of my Department is considering the matter. Any decision regarding financing will not be taken until the plan is finalised and costed.
