Written answers

Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

The business operator referred to by the Deputy operates under a licence awarded by my Department at the location referred to in the ‘details supplied’. The governance of the location in question is provided for by the Bourn Vincent Memorial Park Act 1932. As the Deputy will be aware, this Act was recently amended by the Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2015 and, in this context, my officials are now reviewing the licences which are awarded at this location, including the case specifically referred to in the ‘details supplied’.
