I want to raise the issue of the Rock of Cashel, in my town. It attracts just under 400,000 visitors every year, but locals and tourists have complained about foliage, weeds and so on growing at a height which are not accessible from ground level. This vegetation can be seen from a distance and takes from the look of the site. We hope to get it on the list of UNESCO sites in the next couple of years. The OPW has spent €336,000 on a bicycle shed. Perhaps some of that money could be redirected so that we can get the Rock of Cashel looking the way it should. Can the Minister instruct or ask the OPW to address this as soon as possible?
