Question:

143 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if she will report on the expenditure allocated by her in respect of a feasibility report on the restoration of Moore Hall, Castlecarra, County Mayo; if she has received and published the feasibility report; her proposals to further develop the concept of Moore Hall as an international point of contact; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

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

The total cost of the survey report on Moore Hall commissioned by my Department was £16,332. The report, which was completed earlier this year, is still under consideration by my Department. Until this process is complete no decision can be made on options for the development of the site.
