Question:

31 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands the meetings, if any, she has had with the residents of Inisbiggle Island, County Mayo in relation to their request for a cable car between the island and the mainland; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17415/97]

Minister of State at the Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (Éamon Ó Cuív)

I am replying to this question in English as it was put down in English although it relates to Inis Bigil which is a Gaeltacht island.

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Priority Question No. 4 of today.
