Vol. 225 No. 2

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Access to County Galway Islands.

45.

asked the Minister for Lands what are the rights of citizens to go ashore on islands on Lough Corrib and on islands off the coast of Galway.

I presume that these islands are in private ownership and as such would be subject to the laws relating to private property. Unless there is an established right of entry in favour of the public or unless provision has otherwise been made for entry by the public, the permission of the owners would be required by any persons seeking to enter on these islands.
