Vol. 491 No. 1

Written Answers. - Architectural Heritage.

Ulick Burke

Question:

93 Mr. U. Burke asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands if she will acquire, for preservation and restoration, one of the last remaining intact workhouses in the country located at Portumna, County Galway, with a view to having EU and Department funding made available for its development into an interpretative centre of historical importance. [11372/98]

As I indicated in my reply to Question No. 252 of 17 February last it would not be appropriate for my Department to acquire those buildings as they do not merit State care on heritage grounds.
