423 Mr. Harte asked the Minister for the Marine if he will make a statement on his recent visit to North Donegal with particular reference to the urgent repairs needed to Moville Pier, Carrickaroary Pier, Buncrana Pier and Rathmullan Pier; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13215/95]

During my recent trip to Donegal I visited a number of harbours, including those referred to by the Deputy, to see the condition of landing facilities at first hand. A number of the harbours require remedial repair works. The repair of harbours in County Donegal is a matter for Donegal County Council and Buncrana Harbour Commissioners in the case of Buncrana Harbour.
