Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Shared Island Initiative: Department of the Taoiseach
2:00 am
Ms Émer Deane:
The shared island unit is working with three existing planetariums in Birr, Dunsink and Armagh. They are working together to get UNESCO world heritage status. That work is under way and we are supporting them as they work through their bid. If there is a partnership between Mayo and Armagh on this specific project, my question would be is it a local authority project and is that perhaps where it needs to go or might it be something that would fit under the forthcoming shared home place initiative. I am not sure. I would have to see the detail.
