Officials of my Department met officials from Mayo County Council recently to discuss the feasibility of extending the slipways at Gob na Dumhaí, Inis Bigil, and at Doran's Point, Ballycroy, and the feasibility of carrying out further improvement works on the mainland and island slipways at Béal an Bhulláin. As a result of these discussions, Mayo County Council has indicated it will be submitting proposals to my Department for funding works at these locations. These proposals will be evaluated in the context of the moneys available to me for island development and the various demands on that funding.
