We fund a scheme through local authorities. The problem with this project is that it has costed multiples of the conventional local authority scheme. Apart from those, there is a very considerable shopping list from the six State-owned harbours, including the one closest to us here, in Howth, in terms of dredging. Significant investment is already under way in some - for example, in Castletownbere. In 2019 it will happen in Killybegs. The Department has no shortage of capital projects on the marine-side that require funding. As long as the work is done in Greencastle, there should not be particular concern over the source of funds.
