Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I have had several discussions with the family at Birr Castle. I am aware of what they have achieved. The Office of Public Works has been effective in assisting in some of their efforts. The Deputy is correct that we cannot allow that investment to die away. For the next year, we will try to find the resources to sustain, even at a minimal level, many of these facilities and not allow them fall by the wayside.
