Michael McNamara (IND), Clare

I wish to raise the issue of Shannon Heritage Properties with the Taoiseach. I have raised it many times before. A due diligence process is in place now for Clare County Council to effectively take over the Clare properties, as I am sure the Taoiseach is aware. Key to that is capital funding. Clare County Council has limited sources of revenue; namely, local property tax and rates. Nobody is going to thank it if it raises local property tax and rates in order to put a roof on a castle, for example. There will be funding required to ensure these properties are in a good state. Will the Taoiseach undertake to provide that funding?
