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

As Minister with primary responsibility for rural development, my Department would, of course, take the lead role in any such review. Against the background of the increasing challenges facing rural communities and in the context of EU developments, the initiation of such a review is currently under consideration by my Department.
