On foot of a recent Government decision, the North West Mayo Community Forum is being established as a joint initiative by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. Its objectives include:
fostering the socio-economic development of the North West Mayo region through a coordinated engagement involving a number of Government Departments and State bodies with members of the local community and public representatives, and
facilitating dialogue and promoting understanding of regulatory issues in regard to the Corrib gas project.
It is intended to hold the inaugural meeting of the Forum in the coming weeks. The work of the Forum will continue for the foreseeable future.
