Ceist:

106 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht when Kilcash Castle, Kilcash, Clonmel, County Tipperary, will be transferred to the National Monument and Historic Properties Service; the plans, if any, he has for the castle; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht (Mr. M. Higgins)

Agreement with the owner for the transfer of Kilcash Castle to the National Monuments and Historic Properties Service was reached some time ago, but the legal formalities have not yet been completed. The intention is to carry out conservation works to the castle as soon as resources permit.
