Question:

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.
