Vol. 528 No. 3

Written Answers. - Promotion of Dublin.

Ivor Callely

Ceist:

201 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands the consideration she has given for the recognition and promotion of medieval Dublin in view of the considerable archaeological investigation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30250/00]

The responsibility for promotion of Dublin is a matter for Dublin Tourism.

Two sites which are in State care in Dublin, St. Audoen's Church, High Street and St. Mary's Abbey, Meeting House Lane, have very strong medieval associations. Both of these national monuments which are in the care of my Department are open to the public and guided tours are provided. In addition, both sites are included in promotional literature distributed by Dúchas the heritage service of my Department in relation to the domestic and foreign markets.
