165 Mr. Ferris asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if a feasibility study by a company (details supplied) on a ferry link between Blacksod Bay and Achill Island promised in 2002, has been completed; and if so will he make it available. [16531/05]
View answerA study of the feasibility of a ferry service linking Achill Island and the Erris Peninsula was commissioned in March 2002. A firm of consultants, Tourism and Transport Consult International, was appointed to conduct the study following a public tender competition. The study has been completed and is being assessed by the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources. I intend to publish the study shortly.
