Fifteen point document at the heart of coalition says Ó Cuaig

 

A fifteen point programme of work for the Connemara is being supported by a coalition of Independent-Fine Gael-Labour and Sinn Fein county councillors,according to Independent Councillor Seosamh Ó Cuaig.

Counciller Ó Cuaig said that the document put together by himself. included the development of roads and highlighted the necessity for a new road from West Connemara to Galwax City.

Clir. Ó Cuaig’s other campaigns in recent years included in the document, includes the solving of the water and sewerage problem in Carraroe. the provision of a visitor centre at Teach an Phiarsaigh in Rosmuc and the provision of a public swimming pool and leisure

centre for the Connemara Gaeltacht.

 

ClIr. Ó Cuaig said he was confident that with the support of the Technical simply walk away from the Coalition of councillors (Fine Gael-Labour-Jndependents- Sinn Fein), the programme could be implimented in full.

“I found the members of the coalition to be enthusiastic about the plan but I was very clear and upfront to the other partners tht I would be reviewing its implimentation on an annual basis. If there isn’t the necessary progress I will simply walk away from the ‘coalition’,” he said.

 

ClIr. Ó Cuaig said said he was also seeking the formation of a new Coiste na nOileáin with more representation for islanders than on the previous body and he had called a separate Connty Council for Connemara.
