Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 March 2021
670. Deputy Patricia Ryan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the steps being taken to protect the Hill of Allen and its tower; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14714/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraNone of the archaeological monuments in the vicinity of the Hill of Allen are in my Department's ownership or guardianship. Under the provisions of the National Monuments Acts, the Department has established and maintains a Record of Monuments and Places (RMP) which affords legal protection to all recorded archaeological sites and monuments in the State. A number of monuments in the Hill of Allen area are included in the RMP but not the tower/folly referred to by the Deputy.
