Marc Ó Cathasaigh (Waterford, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I again raise a long-term and ongoing issue at Heilbhic Pier in Gaeltacht na nDéise just outside Dungarvan. For a number of days each month when the tide is at its lowest, the RNLI boat cannot launch. It cannot exit the slipway. The harbour is silted up. I have been around the houses on this. It has been a case of pass the parcel. I have put questions to the Department of agriculture, which has directed me to the Department of housing. I get kicked on to the local authority. I do not much care who solves this issue but I want it to be solved before somebody makes that call to the RNLI and the RNLI does not respond on time because it cannot get access and somebody loses his or her life. Will the Taoiseach knock heads together so we get a solution? I do not much mind who solves it but I want it solved.
