Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The work was stopped for economic reasons. The briefing given by the Department in 2020 was that phase 3 did not go ahead due to the economic downturn. We are now looking again at phase 3. There was a delay because it had to go to the National Maritime College of Ireland and all of that. If the Minister thinks my frustration is bad, she should be at some of the meetings where there is frustration and anger on the delay with this pier. There are also concerns about another pier. I understand that is all being looked at now.

I again welcome the fact there is a date for the appointment of a contractor for the Inis Oírr project. I presume, and am taking it as said, there is no problem with allocation of funding at this point. Does the Minister have any idea of completion dates for the céibh on Inis Oírr?
