Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy Michael Ring)

My Department is aware of the need to improve the area referred to in details supplied and a survey of landing areas including the area in question within Killarney National Park has recently been carried out. Following this minor works have taken place such as the addition of new sleepers, safety wire, and non-slip surfaces. The next phase will be to engage the services of an engineer to outline what improvement works need to be undertaken.
