Offshore Islands
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-15
============================================================

Éamon Ó Cuív (FF), Galway West

Until 2013, there was a very successful local action group operating the LEADER companies across the islands because, as the Minister said in her response to previous questions, the islands are unique. That changed in 2018 when the islands lost LAG status, but Comhar na nOileán still managed to run the project in Donegal and the Beara Peninsula, including the Cork islands. I understand that under the new arrangements, it is going to get even worse and the comhar will be totally excluded from any involvement in the LEADER programme. That is a disgrace. What will the Minister do to change this situation before it is too late?
