John Perry
Question:366 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if her attention has been drawn to the objections lodged by An Taisce against a planning application (details supplied) in Ballymote, County Sligo, which is an area designated in the rural renewal scheme in the upper Shannon region; her views on this objection in view of the fact that Ballymote has suffered particularly badly in past decades with regard to social and economic conditions and in further view of the fact that the aim of the scheme is to regenerate designated areas in a restricted timeframe; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
