The Joint Committee on Social Protection, Community and Rural Development and the Islands is to meet on Bere Island in Co Cork next month to discuss the challenges facing islanders.
“Well, we are making a little bit of history anyway in dispatching the committee to Bere Island,” said Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl, after the move was approved in the Dáil.
