256. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the steps proposed to be taken in relation to ensuring that dumped material in the Old Mud Dock, Galway is removed; if he has yet received the final legal advice from the Chief State Solicitor's office; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department has received further legal advice on this matter. Efforts are continuing through correspondence and otherwise to narrow the identity of the appropriate parties involved in placing material on State owned foreshore without consent. This is necessary as any parties against whom legal proceedings are contemplated are obliged to be put on notice.
