The matter has been investigated by my Department's engineering division and I am advised that the effect on fisheries of the works undertaken by the local authority are expected to be minimal. Officials of the Department are, however, prepared to meet the fishermen concerned in conjunction with officials of the local authority to afford them an opportunity to detail their concerns about the works in question.
