Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 October 2012
185. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the amount of money spent to date on the development of the airstrips on Inishbofin and at Clauin Leacht an Abba, Cleggan, County Galway; the estimated cost to build the terminal buildings at each location; the expected date of completion of these projects; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45259/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can inform the Deputy that the total expenditure to date on the development of airstrips on Inishbofin and at Cluain Leacht an Abba, Cleggan, is €8.6m. The Deputy will appreciate that my Department has not yet tendered for the construction of terminal buildings at the airstrips. It would, therefore, be inappropriate to indicate an estimated cost of construction of such buildings or to indicate a date as to their completion.
