I have a supplementary question. How can the decision have been made after the completion of the parking review in May when the budget papers, which make provision for the facility at Hillarys, were finalised on 15 April, before the review was even finished? Ms MacTIERNAN

AnswerView source ↗

The answer is very simple. The money is in the budget for the Fisheries Department should it obtain positive planning approval and a positive decision from the Government. An allocation was made for the relocation of fisheries at whatever site. The Government’s decision was not made until the review had been completed and taken to the stakeholders, who made it clear that, by and large, they supported the relocation of fisheries.
