View answerA Pollathomas implementation working group was established and Peadar Ó hÉidhín, a representative of Mayo County Council, is chairman. It included representatives from the Office of Public Works, my Department and the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Its first meeting was on 22 April. It is intended to include participation of the people of Pollathomas at a later date.
During a recent visit to Mayo I met county council officials. We discussed the progress in resolving issues as they pertain to my Department.
