‹ Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Island Smallholders. Lime transport subsidy for islands
Summary
Walsh sought restoration of the lime transport subsidy for Sherkin and Cape Clear, citing extra transport costs. The Minister said he was considering a related request and would inform Walsh of his views.
I am not so much interested in the Aran Islands as Sherkin and Cape Clear Island. Has the Minister any plans to restore the lime transport subsidy to these islands? He will agree that transport of lime to the islands means a substantial additional cost.
Comment on this
For some time I have been considering a request by Deputy Sheehan in reference to Bere Island. I will inform Deputy Walsh if I have any favourable views on this matter.
