With regard to estate management, the OPW has a lot of properties in its care. Many of them are on the tourist trail and bring people to the various parts of the counties that benefit from these sites. How is that estate portfolio being developed? We know about Kilkenny Castle, for example, but is the OPW looking at other sites that would be worth developing? Has it stopped taking properties of that kind onto its books for further investment?
