Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Charlie McConalogue: To be clear, that was a €5 million one-off grant for a specific project. It is not a recurring grant. The funding for staff numbers and boots on the ground remains the same. The point I was making-----

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Charlie McConalogue: I have two points on the seafood sector. There is the strategic plan for sustainable aquaculture development and the implementation of it. We had a session here a couple of months ago on that and there was no clear indication from officials at that stage that an implementation plan would be put in place with associated deadlines. Will the Minister give an update on when we will see that as...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Charlie McConalogue: I accept this must be a priority. An implementation plan with dates and expected achievement deadlines would be useful at this point, taking into account resources.

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Charlie McConalogue: The implementation plan and outline could be done without a massive resource requirement in the meantime. There could be a framework for delivery.

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Charlie McConalogue: There is a specific line in the capital budget for investment in the six local fishery harbour centres. There are other harbours outside of those which are really starved of any investment funding. Small allocations are given on an annual basis to local authorities to contribute to them but there is no significant funding being directed to them. I can give one example in my locality. The...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Charlie McConalogue: -----breakwater that is tied up. It needs additional funding for completion. There is no capital line for this in any Department budget. The appropriate place for it is in this Department as this was the previous parent Department. This has been pushed from pillar to post and I have no doubt it is the same for other harbours. There is money in local authorities for small jobs, which is...

- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Charlie McConalogue: I am looking at the administration side, which is dealt with on the first page, and at the percentage increases and decreases. The headings with the highest percentage increases tend to be under administration. For example, there was a 9% increase in salaries, wages and allowances in 2018 from 2017. In No. VI, for offices, premises and expenses, the increase is 12% between 2017 and 2018....
- Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Mar 2018)
Charlie McConalogue: On the responsibility for river maintenance, outside the rivers maintained by the Office of Public Works, OPW, under the arterial drainage Acts, the local authorities and the OPW are facing a limbo where no one has responsibility for maintaining those rivers. It is particularly acute in Donegal where massive damage was done as a result of the flooding in August. Rivers have been very...
