Ms Clare McGrath:

That relationship is already there. The €36 million allocation to which the Deputy referred is largely related to national monuments and historic properties, that is, the cost of manning them, presenting them and also our statutory responsibility regarding maintenance. A considerable element goes to staffing and resources. In regard to any elective works, we would be very concerned to have regard to national strategies on tourism, and we are supported by Fáilte Ireland in identifying which areas should be prioritised. Fáilte Ireland funds us for some of our works at some of our historic properties. It provides the investment to us to undertake the work.
