I propose to take Questions Nos. 405 to 407, inclusive, together.
I made funding available to the Office of Public Works (OPW) for the purchase of the majority land holding on the Great Blasket Island. This purchase has now been completed.
The OPW will be responsible for the management, conservation and promotion of the property and will carry out initial protection/conservation works to structures which form part of the abandoned village. A detailed management plan, agreed with local stakeholders, will guide the future management of the Island. The possibility of acquiring further land holdings on the Island will be kept under review in light of the overall financial and budgetary position.
