391 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands when she will introduce an islander allowance as promised by her; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11860/98]
As I stated on a number of occasions in reply to previous questions on this issue, the question of an islander allowance is among the questions being considered by my Department as part of an overall package to improve island living conditions, in consultation with the interdepartmental committee on the islands, the Gaeltacht and the Irish language.
