Question:

352 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands if a survey of courthouses was carried out on her behalf in relation to the £3.9 million announced on 13 May 1998 for the restoration of listed buildings; if so, if she will publish or make available the result of that survey; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19646/98]

Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (Miss de Valera)

The survey of courthouses was commissioned by the Heritage Council which availed of Dúchas, the heritage service of my Department, to carry out the work. I understand that the council hopes to publish the results of the survey in the new year.
