Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

I am aware of the problems of unauthorised access to the Castletown Estate generally and to the area mentioned by the Deputy in particular. OPW officials are currently reviewing the security arrangements for the Estate. The officials will also be in contact with Coillte in this regard.
