I thank Senator Fitzpatrick for allowing me some of her time. I thank the Minister of State for the commitment he has shown to community historical projects. We have seen the benefit of that in my constituency through the funding he awarded to St. Canice's monastery and graveyard. That nearly €30,000 has already been put to good use by Dublin City Council. We will see the benefit of that investment in the years to come. As a result of that work, though, we have discovered the vast extent of what needs to be done on the site. Will the Minister of State be making similar rounds of funding available so that we can build on the investment he has already made and go much further in restoring the abbey site? It is an important local historical site.
