Frustation over continued lack of Government plan for Aran Islands

Frustration is being expressed over the continued lack of a Government policy and action plan for the Aran Islands. 

The matter was raised in the Dáil by Deputy Catherine Connolly, who said this long-awaited plan has been in the pipeline for almost 3 decades. 

Speaking in response, Minister Heather Humphries said she expects a plan to be finalised by the end of this year. 

Galway West Deputies Connolly and Eamon O' Cuiv questioned why it's taken so long - and how effective it will be.
