The synchro-lift at Dinish Island, Castletownbere is currently not in operation due to a Human Resources issue which has Health and Safety implications.
My Department is fully cognisant of the importance of the synchro-lift at Dinish Island and is currently actively involved in finding a resolution to the Human Resources issue. I am hopeful that significant progress will be made in the near future and the matter resolved.
