I propose to take Questions Nos. 425, 426 and 428 together.
The promontory fort at Drumanagh, Lusk, Co. Dublin, is in private ownership but is subject to a Preservation Order under the National Monuments Acts. Because of the Preservation Order, my consent, as Minister, is required for any works at or in proximity to the monument. I have recently given consent under section 14 of the National Monument Act 1930 Act (as amended) for the erection of a replacement fence around the perimeter of the promontory fort and for works to improve pasture at the site.
