While we are discussing marine issues, I have a more parochial question which relates to the breakwater project in Greencastle Harbour. It was funded to a certain level by the Department under previous Governments, however it has been mothballed and the project is half finished. It is not one of seven harbours under State control, however in the past, the Department had a specific budget for these types of projects. It would be a great advantage for Greencastle Harbour were that project to be completed. Will the Minister update us on that project's status? Has he made progress in reinstating a fund that can finish the project which the Department started in Greencastle, as well as other similar projects in future?
