Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

We do not have a date. There will be a differential between foreshore responsibilities; some of which will remain within the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, including the issues of piers and harbours, ports and fishery harbours, while the other aspects will be transferred to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Given that there have been changes in the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, transfers of functions will have to be put before the Government.
