Anne Rabbitte (Galway East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I understand the Deputy Ó Cuív’s concern regarding the mountain access project and I will bring back his commentary on it to the Minister, Deputy Humphreys. Embracing Ireland’s Outdoors commits to expanding the mountain access project with a timeline to the end of 2023. The Department wants to ensure that there is appropriate guidance before it is expanded. This guidance has been developed by the subgroup of Comhairle na Tuaithe. The subgroup has the farming organisations represented on it and expansion will be done with the co-operation of the farming organisations. The important piece here is the landowners.
