Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

In regard to public services in rural areas, there is a problem in the Gaeltacht area in my own constituency, where it seems we are set to lose the áisitheoir poiblí. I understand this is also happening in two other areas, Ráth Chairn and Uíbh Ráthach, and it is a damaging development. Will the Minister intervene to ensure this important public service, which comes within the remit of his Department, is retained?
