Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

I refer to the replies to Question No 46 on 01 December 2022 and Question No 341 of 11 October 2022 which set out the position in this matter and the process, which is still on going.

The Department of Transport, as the parent Department of the Shannon Group, have the lead role in the transfer of heritage sites from Shannon Group to relevant local authorities. Officials from my Department continue to engage with the inter-departmental working group and Clare County Council to support progress in the transfer of the remaining Shannon Heritage sites to Clare County Council.
