Violet-Anne Wynne (IND), Clare

I wish to highlight the issues surrounding the transfer of the four Shannon heritage sites in County Clare to Clare County Council. The council has done its due diligence, has handed over a 600-page report and has been clear with the Government that the transfer cannot happen without the proposed funding package being signed off. The Taoiseach is the middleman. Enough time has laboured on. The sites have deteriorated over the last few years and will deteriorate further. Earlier this year, the Taoiseach said that Clare County Council needed to get on with this. It has done so and has handed over its report. What is needed now are security and certainty for staff and their families and a future for these important cultural sites. What is needed is a commitment from the Taoiseach today to provide a timeline and deadline.
