Joe McHugh (Donegal North East, Fine Gael)

At least I can assure those at Malin Head Coastguard station that they will not lose their jobs. Decentralisation is the key, not centralisation.

A Member from Cork referred to the provision of ferries there. Donegal has ferry services in Rathmullen, Buncrana, McGilligan and Greencastle but there is no State provision for funding for these effective and necessary transport modes. It is important these are tied in with an overall transport strategy.
