Rose Conway-Walsh

486. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage his plans to move forward accessibility issues for the public to OPW-run Moyne Abbey, Ballina, County Mayo given that the OPW can only advise on access for OPW staff and not on public access; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
