What you say does not surprise me much, but it worries me and it worries everyone to a degree. If a roof leaks and is not repaired, it will fall in at some point. That is the situation of small crafts harbours. It is as serious as that. Moreover, some people are suffering from it. Other groups, like the volunteer administrators of the port authorities, are at the end of their rope. They are exhausted, frustrated and discouraged. If we do not massively invest in small crafts harbours in the short term, the frustration and discouragement will make the situation irreparable.
It is for that reason that I am keeping up the pressure on this issue. Fear not, I will continue to harass you. I will even discuss it with cabinet ministers, if other people need to be convinced of the importance of this issue. You agree, but there is a difference between words and action. I say it again and I will repeat it to everyone, the degree of deterioration has reached such a point that the situation is threatening to become irreparable. The only short-term solution would be to put up safety fences around the wharfs that are in such poor condition that they pose a safety problem. It is in this regard that the situation risks becoming irreparable.
Are you aware of this?
