Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

In response to notice given to my Department under the National Monuments Acts, Kildare County Council was informed on 25 August 2014 that, apart from a small number of sites that did not include the specific location referred to by the Deputy, there was no objection to the Council’s proposals to carry out a series of works to graveyards around the county.
