Tom Sheahan (Kerry South, Fine Gael)

Nothing can be seen on the ground for the €1.6 million. The site for the pier has changed on a number of occasions. The current site seems to be the most expensive but I am not an engineer. One must take the Ring of Kerry to get direct access to the proposed pier. I look forward to the Minister of State visiting the site and, hopefully, we can move the project forward collectively.

Like my colleagues, I congratulate Deputy Connick on his elevation to the ministerial ranks.
