Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 March 2007
135 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the current or intended proposals to preserve, restore and maintain the obelisk known as Conolly’s Folly, Maynooth, County Kildare; the full extent of any intended expenditure in 2007 and in future years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9196/07]
View answerA contract was placed on 1 March, 2007 for a measured survey and record of Conolly's Folly. The completion of this survey will inform the level of conservation work required at the site, and will facilitate the preparation of the necessary documentation for this work. It will only be possible to estimate the level of expenditure required to conserve the site once the aforementioned survey is complete. I expect that work on the survey will commence in the very near future.
