Briefly. I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I appreciate his assurances and accept his commitment and that of the Minister, but I must reiterate the considerable disappointment and frustration at the lack of any visible progress or action on the national monument. A hundred years had passed by 2016 and we are now going into 2022. I urge the Minister of State to visit the site again – he has been there previously – as soon as possible. We need to see some action on the national monument. The Irish Heritage Trust's concept is excellent, everyone is behind it and the funding has been provided, but there is bewilderment at the lack of activity on the site.
