On Union Hall pier, my Department has no specific remit on the matter but we will reach out to Cork County Council given the case the Deputy has made to me over a number of days to ascertain the viability of those alternatives.

With regard to Dinish pier, my Department is engaging with the company and much discussion is under way. I am anxious to see the project proceed. I will take the Deputy up on his invitation to visit that part of the country as early as I can to see the facilities for myself and to meet the various operators. I met with the various fish processors and fishermen's organisations yesterday. Marine is very much part of my brief and I look forward to engaging with the Deputy's community about marine issues.
