Councillor claims Rionn na Gaeltachta is discriminating against small islands


A Donegal councillor has criticised the Department of the Gaeltacht for it’s attitude to Donegal’s smaller islands.
Rionn na Gaeltachta is conducting an assessment of the needs of various offshore islands around the country, with department personnel on Arranmore at the moment and Tory due to be visited shortly.
