Harbours and Piers
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-31
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I thank the Minister for the strength of her reply. We will put it into context. In 2008, phases 1 and 2 of this work started and 14 years later, my colleagues from Galway West and I are attempting to keep the pressure on and get dates. We know the work is complicated. The Minister has been out to the islands herself and she knows the impact that the state of this pier has on business. There is a fantastic business out there, Cniotáil Inis Meáin, that is directly affected with cargo coming in and out. She knows about this; I do not need to say it to her. Each time we ask there is a further delay and the bad weather is interfering with it now. Are we on target to have all the information and studies necessary by August? That will feed into the business case then. When will the business case be ready? Tá sé sin tuillte ag muintir na n-oileán ag an bpointe seo, nach bhfuil?
