Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Éamon Ó Cuív)

As I have previously indicated to the Deputy, I have not had any formal discussions or meetings with An Taisce but I have met some of its officers a few times in a social context and there have been informal exchanges. I have availed of any such opportunity to reiterate my views on rural housing, which are already well known to Members.

Question No. 332 answered with QuestionNo. 330.
