Robert Troy (Longford-Westmeath, Fianna Fail)

I listened attentively to the Minister's reply which reinforced the need to look to the private sector for future funding for cultural events. He stated he has already engaged with philanthropists in this regard. The Minister spoke eloquently about that fine cathedral in Cork. I remind him we have fine heritage buildings right throughout the country and in particular in Westmeath we have such buildings awaiting grant assistance from his Department. Can he give any indication of when those grants will be announced?
