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

The idea which has been raised in the media is an interesting one, which I am sure will stimulate public debate. As I have indicated in response to previous questions from the Deputy, I do not regard it as appropriate to respond formally on the record of this House to each and every item raised in or covered by the media.
