Ceist:

432. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 285 to 289, inclusive, of 28 March 2017, the reason the Office of Public Works is not in a position to state conclusively the name of the person who was responsible for the damage to the Donaghmore souterrain in County Louth; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Office of Public Works is not in a position to state conclusively how the damage to the Donaghmore structure was caused as it was not present at the time and did not directly witness any act so affecting the Monument. In these circumstances, the response to Question 15167/17 stands.
