Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 March 2022
38. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Transport if he has received a funding proposal from Clare County Council and or a company (details supplied) in relation to the potential transfer of Shannon Heritage sites in County Clare to the local authority; the details of all engagement between his Department and Clare County Council and the company on the proposal to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13141/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department for Housing, Local Government and Heritage is the parent Department for local authorities, and therefore any funding proposals from local authorities would be submitted to that Department in the first instance.
I can advise the Deputy that my Department is continuing to engage with Shannon Group to support a smooth transfer of the sites. My Department is also engaging with the Departments of Public Expenditure and Reform, and Housing, Local Government and Heritage as their agreement is required for the heritage sites to transfer as planned by Shannon Group.
