The matter is not one for which my Department has responsibility, nor has any voted allocation ever been provided to my Department or its Agencies in respect of same. I am advised that the proposed project is being led by Ballina Town Council and enquiries as regards to its prioritisation and the anticipated timeframe for any delivery should be addressed directly to the Council. I also understand that there have been discussions led by the Town Council and involving the Marine Institute and Inland Fisheries Ireland on the broad objectives of the proposals.
