I wish to discuss a matter concerning Foynes Harbour, about which I am very disappointed. As my colleague, Senator Brennan, is aware, we had a plan for an access road bypassing the harbour. Over many years the harbour board campaigned to get this access road finished and local people were elated when the project was completed because it would stop trucks parking in the village. In many cases such trucks had spread dust and other material in the village over many years during which local people had to put up with this traffic burden. While the road was finished last October, it is blocked because CIE has taken an inordinately long time to deal with the legal complexities of installing a level crossing. While the rail service is vital for the port, in the past year no railway engine has traversed it on business related to the port. I cannot understand the delay over the level crossing, which is not the fault of the local council.
