Question:137 Mr. Farrelly asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if she will facilitate the arrangement of a meeting between the Bursar of Trinity College, Dublin, and Kells Urban District Council members to explore the Government's wish, on the basis of statements made by her, that a volume of the Book of Kells will be loaned to the Urban District Council for its new heritage centre for one month during the summer 2001; and if, at this meeting, all of the elected Deputies from the Meath constituency will be invited to attend; if she will outline publicly the Government's view of support for this proposed project, similar to the Government's approval of a volume of the Book of Kells being transported to Australia in 2000; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
