I repeat that the matter relating to Caladh Mór pier has been going on...

General Practice and Local Health Services: Motion (20 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: ...use when the number is in the sixties as has been the case repeatedly? How do we keep going from crisis to crisis rather than building up the basic infrastructure that every town needs? We go back to Carraroe. Where is the day centre?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Island Communities (5 Mar 2024)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Island Communities (5 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: ..., Inishbofin had 188 inhabitants, which, luckily, was an increase. A functioning health centre is a basic need. The current facility is not fit for purpose.
