Vol. 403 No. 10

Written Answers. - Book of Estimates.

Colm M. Hilliard

Question:

139 Mr. Hilliard asked the Minister for Tourism and Transport the way in which the £500,000 provided for in Vote 35 subhead C5 in the 1991 Book of Estimates (Abridged Version) will be spent.

The amount of £500,000 in subhead C5 of the Tourism and Transport Estimates 1991 will be spent on the provision of ferry services to the Aran Islands. The bulk of the allocation will be spent on the provision of a freight-oriented service which will also cater for passengers between Galway and the islands. I am also exploring the possibility of effecting improvements during the current winter season in the provision of passenger services between the three islands and Rossaveal.
