Policy for Rathlin Island introduced

Conor Murphy, Minister for Regional Development announced on 2 March 2010 that the Executive had introduced a policy for Rathlin Island.  

The Minister will chair a Forum that will monitor progress and review and refresh the Action Plan to reflect changing circumstances.  

The Rathlin Island Policy

The purpose of the Rathlin Policy is to develop a vibrant healthy Rathlin community and increase the involvement of islanders in the development of policies and projects which improve conditions for all of the people of the island while protecting its environment.  Policies developed for this purpose may differ from policies applying elsewhere, in recognition of the unique circumstances of Rathlin Island and the challenges of island life.
