As the Minister is probably aware, the community development companies in the non-Gaeltacht islands play a vital role in sustaining the communities on the islands. There are five such companies, based on Clare Island, Inishturk, Inishbofin, Sherkin Island with associated other small islands in Cork, and Bere Island. Does the Minister intend to provide funding, which is in the region of €500,000 a year, to the development companies on the islands after March 2015? I know the Minister has cover until that date so I am interested in his plans after March 2015.
