Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

Again, there is a long history to the projects on both islands. Inis Meáin, in particular, has gone through phases 1, 2 and 3. I can tell the Minister of State about the level of frustration on the ground. We have certainly felt it as TDs. Regarding Inis Oírr, the county council is currently examining the tenders. Is a business case being prepared simultaneously? What is the position? When will that business case be submitted?
Regarding Inis Meáin, did consultation on the feasibility study conclude on 20 September? It is hard to note the dates as the Minister of State is speaking. He has said a little progress has been made, in terms of taking minor steps forward. I call them minor because the level of frustration in Inis Meáin is significant. I would appreciate if the Minister of State could give me the details in writing. I welcome the progress on the health centre.
