asked the Taoiseach if he is aware that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Government recently visited County Sligo to acquaint himself with conditions existing there and that members of the Dáil or Seanad or of public bodies were not invited to meet him with the exception of members of his own Party; and, if so, whether he will make a statement on the matter.

In the course of my tour of the Gaeltacht and congested areas, I have not visited Sligo.
