National Monuments
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-17
============================================================

Patrick O'Donovan (FG), Limerick County

I, again, thank the Deputy for raising the issue. I have been invited to Cherrywood. When the level 5 restrictions are lifted and we are allowed to take the opportunity to visit constituencies, particularly for non-essential work, it is my intention to visit the site. I am sure at that stage I will have a better understanding, along with my officials in the OPW, as to what is at stake in terms of the protection, management and care of the monuments, not only of the church but the crosses as well. I know there has been discussion on how the most appropriate care for those crosses and monuments can be provided into the future. I am sure that if the Deputy has any suggestions in that regard the OPW will be more than anxious to hear them.
