DRD Minister, Danny Kennedy MLA, in a phone call to Noel McCurdy, RDCA Chair, explained that in view of the recent boating accident that took the life of the well-loved and respected Islander, Johnny Curry, the Minister did not feel it appropriate to go ahead with his visit to Rathlin, planned for Tuesday 5th July.
