I welcome the recent announcement by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, confirming the State’s purchase of Dowth Hall and the establishment of the Boyne Valley (Brú na Bóinne) National Park. The National Parks and Wildlife Service, the National Monuments Service and the Office of Public Works have been tasked with delivering a Masterplan for the property.
In that regard, I was pleased to note that the Director of Teagasc met with the Director General, National Parks and Wildlife Service and both agreed to explore if opportunities exist to collaborate on the Dowth farm in the future.
