92 Mrs. Geoghegan-Quinn asked the Taoiseach whether his Minister of State, Deputy Carey, will support the plans to provide air services to Inishbofin, Inishturk and Clare Islands. [11142/95]
The provision of air transport services is primarily a matter for the Department of Transport, Energy and Communications.
As chairman of the Interdepartmental Committee on Island Development, my role is to co-ordinate responses by individual departments in respect of their particular areas of responsibility on matters affecting the development and living standards of our off-shore island communities, for example, housing, roads, healthcare, power supply and transport services.
