The company Naomh Ciaráin II Oileán Cléire Teo is in receipt of a subsidy from my Department to provide a passenger and cargo service to Oileán Cléire for the period 1 June 2001 to 31 May 2006 using the State-owned vessel, Naomh Ciaráin II. My officials are examining the different options available in order to ensure continuity of service from 1 June 2006 onwards and are in consultation with the company and the island co-operative in this regard.
