Harkin to take ‘flawed’ Aran Islands services tender to EU

The current tender to provide air transfer services to the Aran Islands is flawed and needs to be re-drawn and re-tendered. That’s according to the Independent MEP Marian Harkin. The Government recently re-advertised the tender to provide subsidised air services to the Aran Islands. A previous tender was cancelled last September after complaints about certain aspects of it. But now Marian Harkin says there are several issues of concern with the new tender and that she’s going to take it up with the European Commission.
