Fenit Harbour funding
Deenihan asks whether funding will be available for Fenit this year. Daly says an overall development plan and the engineers’ report are needed first, while interested parties may be able to arrange some immediate work.
I would like, first, to see an overall development plan in place for Fenit Harbour before we can discuss that aspect. The engineers whom we have instructed to visit have not reported back yet. They have not been to Fenit Harbour. If it is possible to get those engineers together with the Kerry engineers, it may be possible to arrange some immediate work that could be done.
There are some commercial operators using the harbour here and they, too, have responsibilities in this respect. If all interested parties could get together with regard to an overall plan, some progress could be made in an area which has been neglected in the past.
