I understand that the difficulties in question relate to landing facilities for boats on Inishmurray Island, following concerns conveyed by my Department relating to safety during embarkation and disembarkation at the island. However, neither my Department nor its agencies have any role or responsibility with regard to the provision of such facilities or any related remedial works. I suggest that this may be a matter more relevant to the Local Authority – in this case, Sligo County Council – for which the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government is responsible.
