Question:

96 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Finance if works carried out on a monument (details supplied) in County Donegal were in keeping with the dry stone masonry style that exists in the rest of the structure; if the concrete wall that was constructed is considered to be a permanent job in view of the fact that the scaffolding and danger signs are still in place; when it is expected that works will be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A scheme has been devised to prevent structural collapses at this monument. This involves the dismantling of sections which have collapsed or are liable to collapse and the construction of an embedded concrete wall in these areas. Reconstruction of the dry stone walls enveloping the concrete wall will take place as individual sections of the concrete wall are completed. Work commenced in 2003 and will continue until 2005.
