Question:

115. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 69 of 10 October 2017, the cost of the apartment located at Kilkenny Castle. [44591/17]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Apartment in question was provided as part of major restoration works carried out at Kilkenny Castle between 1997 and 2001.

The apartment constituted a very minor part of these works and it is extremely difficult at this remove to extract and identify precisely how much the apartment element cost.

The overall cost of the major works was approximately €5m.
