Éamon Ó Cuív: Nach é an trua é. Tráthnóna amárach pléifimid bóithre straitéiseacha Gaeltachta. Idir an dá linn, áfach, an bhféadfadh an tAire Stáit a rá liom an é dhá líne teibí, gan sprioc toradh na hidirghabhála a dúirt an tAire Stáit a raibh aige leis an Aire Tithíochta, Pleanála agus Rialtais...

Cén plé a bhí ag an Aire leis an Aire Tithíochta, Pleanála agus Rialtais Áitiúil, mar atá...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I was saying if there were an 11 a.m. arrangement, that would mean ordinary ferry services could be used without any cost to the State. That is one possibility.
