Willie Penrose (Longford-Westmeath, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I am somewhat flummoxed at the thought of the Minister not knowing everyone in Westport. He has received a submission from my colleague, Mr. Seamus Rodgers, a former councillor in Donegal who is concerned about the islands. There has done much work for islands not only off the coast of Donegal but off the west coast. There are some islands in the Minister's area and he knows the cost associated with maintaining the road networks for the island communities. It is much more expensive than it is for inland communities.
