The development of Ros an MhÃl harbour is of strategic importance to the Gaeltacht, and my Department is in continuing discussions with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in relation to same.
In relation to land owned by Ãdarás na Gaeltachta in Ros an MhÃl, I am informed by Ãdarás that no land transfer has taken place to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Ãdarás na Gaeltachta have also indicated that they have not made any long-term arrangements in relation to land at the harbour, pending further clarification of issues between the two bodies.
