O Cuív slated for chopper trip to Gaeltacht

A GOVERNMENT minister was slated last night for arriving by helicopter in a Gaeltacht region to open a playground.

But an island community leader defended Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs Minister Éamon O Cuív, and his use of the Air Corps aircraft yesterday.

Mr O Cuív travelled to Cork and Kerry for a series of engagements, including visits to two islands.
