INIS MOR ISLANDERS OPPOSE PROPOSED HARBOUR CHARGES

Date Published: 24-Oct-2011

Inis Mór residents say imposing new harbour charges on the Aran Island will have a detrimental effect on its future.

Up to 180 protestors have gathered in the city to demonstrate against proposals to introduce the new charges on Inis Mór.

The charges for ferry passengers and cargo ships on the Aran Island will be voted on by county councillors this afternoon.

That meeting gets underway at county buildings at 3 o 'clock.

Speaking to Galway Bay FM, Islanders say the new levies are unfair and unjust.
