Harbours and Piers

Táim sásta é sin a chloisteáil. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go mbeadh muid in ann díriú ar na céanna sin agus ar an mbuninfreastruchtúr sin ionas go mbeadh sé ann don phobal atá ina chónaí ann freisin.
I welcome that because I think it is important that there is recognition we need to look at exactly how we will fund these. There has been a lack of funding for basic infrastructure across Connemara, and we need to look at how we do that. It is good to look at it from a cross-departmental point of view in order to ensure that funding is available. It is not just piers; it is also bridges and roads. More often than not, I hear that funding is not available. I am sure the council would like to do it if it could.
Is maith an rud é sin. Sílim, ach go háirithe má bhreathnaímid ar an mbuninfreastruchtúr ina iomláine i gConamara, mar shampla, na droichid agus na bóithre chomh maith leis na céanna, tá go leor infheistíochta ag teastáil. Is maith an rud é go bhfuil an Roinn ag breathnú air seo agus go bhfuilimid ag breathnú ar roinnt Ranna atá in ann cabhrú leis.
