asked the Minister for Lands whether he is aware that his Department buys sea rods at Inishbofin for use in the factory at Kilkerrin, and that no such facility is provided for the neighbouring island of Inishark; and, if so, whether he will arrange to have this service extended to gatherers on Inishark.

My Department has not assisted in the purchase of sea rods at Inishbofin. Any rods purchased were purchased, delivered, on special terms, on the mainland. The same arrangement would apply in the case of Inishark as applies in the case of Inishbofin.
