Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I know Bere Island very well as I travel there every summer. The Government has invested heavily on the island, including in water and electricity infrastructure and a new pier. Millions of euro have been spent because we appreciate and recognise the role of island communities off west Cork, as well as other island communities off the west and north-west coasts. If there are issues with health care service provision on the island, I would like to hear more about them and can assure the Deputy that the Government will deal with them.
