Question:200 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Finance if a preservation order could be placed on the Hermitage, Lixnaw, County Kerry.
Vol. 415 No. 8
200 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Finance if a preservation order could be placed on the Hermitage, Lixnaw, County Kerry.
201 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Finance whether the Office of Public Works will take over the Hermitage in Lixnaw, County Kerry and preserve it as a national monument.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 200 and 201 together.
The most appropriate form of protection for this monument would be registration under the National Monuments Acts and I have asked the Commissioners of Public Works to make the necessary arrangements.
Due to their extensive commitments in the Kerry-Cork region, the commissioners are not in a position to take the Hermitage into State care.
