Question 63: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he expects to receive the draft strategy from Comhairle na Tuaithe before Dáil Éireann rises for the summer 2006 recess; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22739/06]

Comhairle na Tuaithe is continuing to meet to progress their work on drafting a Countryside Recreation Strategy. The purpose of the countryside recreation strategy will be to define the scope and vision for countryside recreation as agreed by Comhairle na Tuaithe. It will set out the broad principles under which Comhairle na Tuaithe recommends that sustainable countryside recreation can be managed into the future.

I appreciate that they have devoted time from their busy schedules to carry out this important work in a spirit of co-operation and through working groups and I look forward to receiving the draft strategy from Comhairle na Tuaithe in the near future. I will, of course, carefully consider any proposals, which they may make to me.
