Ceist:145 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Finance if the Office of Public Works have any plans to develop a wildlife reserve at Lough Eske, County Donegal.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 143 and 145 together. The Wildlife Service of the Office of Public Works is currently in discussion with Coillte Teoranta on the question of the acquisition of the Oakwoods at Ardnamona. A decision will be made as to designation as a nature reserve once the property has been acquired.
