Wild Atlantic Way review

Summary

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony raises concerns that the forthcoming Wild Atlantic Way review may exclude parts of west Cork. The Taoiseach says he will check the position and ask the Minister of State to confirm that no area is being left out.

I thank Deputy Murphy O'Mahony for raising the issue of the Wild Atlantic Way. I agree with her that her constituency, Cork South-West, is certainly one of the most beautiful in Ireland. It is always a pleasure to visit, especially during the summer. My understanding is that the review of the Wild Atlantic Way is not about taking any part out or leaving anywhere out but I will have that checked out and I will ask the Minister of State, Deputy Griffin, to confirm the position for the Deputy.

On Deputy Neville's question, I met the chairman of the committee, Senator Freeman, a few months ago. My understanding is that the committee will continue for the duration of the Dáil. Obviously, each new Dáil decides what committees will sit during its lifetime. I will have to confirm that what I have outlined is still the plan.
