Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (17 Feb 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I note the words "robustly" and "continue". They are appropriate in the context of this island because the planning permission dates back to 2008. Here we are again. I welcome that there is a steering committee and I welcome the fact that it is meeting regularly. It would be more helpful if the minutes were available so we could all be part of that, because that would bring openness and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (17 Feb 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I understand that, and I understand the Minister doing her best in respect of this matter. I do not know, however, how we can get so far from where it was good news, nearly with the approval to go out to tender, and with the business case done and everything ready. Yet now we are back here again. I understood that construction was to begin, albeit in stages, before the end of this year....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (17 Feb 2022)

Catherine Connolly: 12. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development further to Parliamentary Question No. 811 of 14 December 2021, the status of the development of the pier on Inis Oírr; when she expects the pre-construction issues to be finalised; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8494/22]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (17 Feb 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Ag dul ar ais go dtí na hoileáin, an uair seo go hInis Oírr. Baineann mo cheist leis an gcéibh agus an obair atá beartaithe uirthi le fada an lá. Tagraím go háirithe do stádas na dtascanna atá riachtanach roimh an fhorbairt atá beartaithe. My question relates to Inis Oírr and the pier development. It has been promised for years....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Island Communities (17 Feb 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I am amused at the need for more time. First, I appreciate the work being done, but a task force was set up in 1996. No policy was ever produced. In contrast, in Scotland there is policy underpinned by legislation and the population is increasing. We know from the most recent census that the population declined on a certain number of islands. There are 30 offshore islands, of which eight...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Island Communities (17 Feb 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister, but the words "very soon" are very elastic, are they not? The 1996 interdepartmental co-ordinating committee on island development did not include representatives of the island communities and neither does the current committee. I see that it went out to communicate, but it was a fault from the start that an interdepartmental committee was set up that, of its nature,...

Catherine Connolly: 6. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development further to Parliamentary Question No. 62 of 7 December 2021, the status of the development of Caladh Mór pier on Inis Meáin; the overall expected cost of the development project; the total cost to date of the project; the status of the development of the updated simulation by the National Maritime College of Ireland; and if...

Cad é an costas iomlán agus cén uair a fheicfimid an togra seo críochnaithe? The Minister is familiar with this issue. I know she took a particular interest in the Caladh Mór pier on Inis Meáin. What is...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (17 Feb 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the update. I am sure my colleague, an Teachta Ó Cuív, will come in on this issue. He has asked many questions about it. The first and second phases were completed in 2008, almost 14 years ago. The college in Cork is now being asked to look at a simulation exercise. When will that be complete? Do we need to wait for it to be complete before the business case begins?...
