The provision of ferry passenger facilities at Leab Gharbh, Árainn Mhór and Ailt an Chorráin was discussed at a recent meeting attended by officials from my Department and Donegal County Council. Arising from this discussion, the County Council has agreed to examine this issue in greater detail with a view to submitting an application for funding to my Department.

Any such application will be examined in the context of funding available for island development purposes and the various demands on that funding.
