Mr. Ó hAoláin added, “As has been very recently highlighted the fishing industry, which was traditionally a major employer and source of income, has been in decline for quite a number of years, and while tourism is a major source of employment and income for many people on the larger islands, a radical approach is required if the island communities are to be sustained into the future and provided with a platform for organic growth.
