View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 655 to 659, inclusive, together.
I am at present consulting the Director of the National Museum on directions under the National Monuments Act 1930, as amended, in connection with a section of the M3 road development, to the east of the Hill of Tara, and in connection with the Viking site at Woodstown. On receipt of his response, to which I will have regard, I hope to be in a position to determine these matters in the near future.
