Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

I wish to confirm that the Connolly's Folly site was inspected as recently as 11 October and found to be free of rubbish. The folly is subject to continual monitoring by my office and no significant deterioration has been observed. No major works are planned for the structure at present.
