These are all areas that impact on other Departments but I am happy to raise them with the various Ministers to see how we can make our islands more vibrant and have more people living on them. There is a great sense of positivity on the islands at the moment. The islanders see a bright future. Arranmore is a particularly good example. There is a good remote working hub on the island. Tourism has been developed and many things are happening. We want to build on that. Each Department has a role to play and I will certainly work with my colleagues to ensure the islands get the support they deserve.
