Mr. Kenny
General preservation works have been carried out at King John's Castle, Limerick, such as the repair of walls, parapets, roofs, rain-water-pipes, windows, doors, floors, interior limewashing, et cetera, and one of the castle rooms has been adapted as a reception area for visitors. The restoration of the monument is not proposed.
Is the Parliamentary Secretary not aware that Limerick Corporation sent a comprehensive report to the Department of Local Government with regard to the full restoration of this ancient castle as a cultural centre? Because of the inaction of the previous Minister for Local Government that scheme is still lying idle and nothing is being done?
