Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

All I can say is Galway County Council is doing the business plan. It knows the steps under the public service code. As I understand it, based on the findings of the simulation, some changes may have to be made to the feasibility study. That is my understanding of it and I want to see this moved on. It is in the national development plan, NDP, the money will be provided when the plans come in and there is a commitment there to do it. I sometimes wish I could do these jobs myself, but I cannot. The Department cannot build the piers, but Galway County Council has to get the ducks lined up and get that application into my Department. It will obviously have to be assessed when it comes in. This is a big project; it is not a simple one. I reassure the Deputy I am committed that this project will be done.
