Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 February 2017
358. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the OPW's plans for Westgate House in Drogheda; if the OPW will invest much needed funding to restore the building due to its historic value and position in an area of Drogheda that is in need of revitalisation investment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8249/17]
View answerI have been advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that they have been in discussion with Louth County Council in relation to the condition of Westgate House. The Council has agreed to redecorate the façade of the building.
The future use of the property is currently being considered in line with OPW stated policy and, upon completion of this review, the issue of the restoration of the building will be addressed.
