326 Mr. O'Leary asked the Minister for the Marine if he will have arrangements made to provide a machine to deepen and dredge a channel (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19321/96]

327 Mr. O'Leary asked the Minister for the Marine if he will have arrangements made to make a grant available in respect of dredging and deepening of an area of water (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will have arrangements made to provide a grant towards the extension of a pier out of which ten fishing boats operate. [19322/96]

I propose taking Questions Nos. 326 and 327 together.

I have no plans to undertake the pier development and dredging projects raised by the Deputy in the immediate future.
