Vol. 357 No. 7

Written Answers. - Former Papal Nunciature.

643.

asked the Minister for Finance when he expects his Department will be in a position to announce their plans for the future use of the former Papal Nunciature in the Phoenix Park; and if he will outline the options for the former Nunciature which are at present being considered by his Department.

Despite special security precautions the condition of the former Papal Nunciature building has deteriorated at an accelerated pace in recent years due to vandalism and it is now in a very dangerous and dilapidated state. It is therefore proposed to demolish the building with the exception of the Ashtown Castle portion which is historically significant. It is hoped in due course to adapt the outbuildings as a park administration centre.
