Offshore Islands
Dail Éireann — 2024-01-30
============================================================

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire (SF), Cork South-Central

I put in some written questions on this. I understand Our Living Islands proposes to review the freight contracts to our offshore islands. If we are serious about ensuring they have a future, living on an island should not be significantly more expensive than it is on the mainland. That is not only the case for online purchases but also for things like building a home. We need to address that in the freight contracts.
