Under my Department's strategic Gaeltacht harbour scheme, a sum of €2.015 million was sanctioned to enable Mayo County Council to improve the harbour facilities at the location referred to by the Deputy. The Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources made a contribution of €500,000 towards the development. The works in question are now completed. No further development works are being considered at this location by my Department at this time, nor has any further funding been promised.

Go dtí seo, níl aon iarratas faighte ag mo Roinnse ar chúnamh le haghaidh botháin foscaidh a thógáil ag an gcé ag Leab Garbh ar Árainn Mhór ná ag Cé Ailt a' Chorráin. Ach iarratas a fháil, déanfar é a mheas i gcomhthéacs an tsoláthair atá ar fáil do mo Roinnse le caitheamh faoi Chlár Oibre na nOileán 2006-07 agus na n-éileamh éagsúil ar an soláthar sin.
