asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether it is proposed to extend the bus service to the villages of Valley, Dugort and Dooniver in Achill Island, County Mayo; and, if so, when.

I am informed by Córas Iompair Éireann that arrangements have been made to divert the Westport/Achill bus service to operate via Valley, Dugort and Dooniver once each way on three days weekly as from 4th December.
