Regional Development, Rural Affairs, Arts & the Gaeltacht Committee to discuss provision of infrastructure

Cathaoirleach of the Committee Peadar Tóibín said: “The provision of infrastructure such as roads, broadband, transport and services is vital for sustaining and growing rural communities. The issue of rural development and the provision of necessary infrastructure in rural areas will be on the Committee’s agenda tomorrow when we meet with representatives from three municipal districts – Belturbet, Connemara and Kells. It will be an opportunity to hear directly from various rural districts about infrastructural development and implementation in their areas and for the Committee to discuss the concerns of rural dwellers in relation to supporting real and sustainable development in rural Ireland.”

This meeting will start at 2.15pm, tomorrow, Tuesday, 20th September 2016 in Committee Room 1, Leinster House. Committee proceedings can be viewed live here.

Committee proceedings can also be viewed on the move, through the Houses of the Oireachtas Smartphone App, available for Apple and Android devices.
