I propose to take Questions Nos. 425 and 429 together.

The grant of a foreshore lease to Mayo County Council for the construction of a slipway at Kilcummin Pier, Killala, Co Mayo received Ministerial approval on 17 June 2010.

The Chief State Solicitors Office (CSSO) has been requested to draft the lease documentation. My Department is maintaining ongoing contact with the CSSO in relation to this matter with a view to having the lease finalised as soon as possible.
