In a slight departure from the triple lock, I will bring the Taoiseach back to Bere Island off west Cork. The Department of Defence has an important training facility there for naval personnel. Unfortunately, there is an issue with Department of Defence-owned infrastructure there, namely, a slipway at Lawrence Cove. It is an important slipway used by naval personnel but also by a car ferry operating between Castletownbere and Bere Island. It is in a really bad state. I brought it to the attention of the Tánaiste already. There is Department of Defence infrastructure there, slipways and piers, that could do with a fund to upgrade them and bring them up to standard. I would really like if the Taoiseach would raise that.
