Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 November 2013
235. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the progress made in the past six months with the provision of the terminal buildings at the airstrips in Cleggan and Inishbofin, County Galway; the reason for the delay with these projects; the steps taken to speed up the work commissioned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47884/13]
View answerA decision has been made not to proceed further with plans for the construction of terminal buildings at the airstrips at Cleggan and on Inishbofin, County Galway. The contract with the consultants that were engaged to undertake the design, planning and tendering process for these buildings has, therefore, been terminated.
My Department is currently assessing alternatives with regard to the possible disposal of these assets in conjunction with other stakeholders, including Galway County Council.
