On Deputy Deasy's query regarding harbours, a report is being produced and we have had an engagement on the matter with the Department. Since then, however, we have had correspondence in regard to Auction Hall in Howth. I raise the matter because it seems there are queries going back to 2010 in regard to the use of that particular building. The officials might check the background to that and whether the lease on the building is available. I will ask the clerk to forward the correspondence to them, if they do not have it already. I would appreciate a written response on the matter.

Is the Department concerned about Bord na gCon's viability and its potential need for further additional moneys next year and in future budgets?
