Question 17: To ask the Minister for Transport if he will attempt to recover operational costs from the Russian Government incurred from the monitoring of the recent oil slick in Irish waters caused by Russian warships; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13814/09]

We are currently collating costs involved in monitoring the oil slick. At this juncture it is considered unlikely that pollution will come ashore, however the situation will be monitored over the coming months. In the circumstances the question of cost recovery is being kept under consideration.
