Question:

941 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if she will provide details of the proposed survey of south County Dublin as part of the drawing up of a national inventory of architectural heritage; when the south Dublin survey will commence; and if there is an indicative date for its completion. [30580/00]

Under the provisions of the Architectural Heritage (National Inventory) and Historic Monuments (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1999, a nationwide survey is currently being carried out by my Department to help identify structures and buildings which are of architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, cultural, scientific, social or technical interest. The Government is committed to completing all interim county surveys within the next two years and the complete national inventory within a period of 12 years. The preparatory work for the survey of South County Dublin has already commenced and I intend to have the survey completed in the course of this year.
