Robert Molloy
Question:30 Mr. Molloy asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht if his attention has been drawn to the Trutz Hasse report entitled Affluence and Deprivation in the Gaeltacht Areas, which shows that 52 per cent of Gaeltacht district electoral divisions fall into the most disadvantaged 20 per cent of district electoral divisions throughout Ireland; the special measures, if any, which will be taken to achieve a more equitable distribution of affluence for these regions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
