Deputy Ferris, as the local representative, will contact the heritage officer of Wicklow County Council with a view to taking on board some of the suggestions made by the Minister of State. I thank him for his contribution because it will be useful in progressing the issue. I was aware of the general background he mentioned.

Can the Minister of State indicate how long the process might take before the possible granting of world heritage status to Glendalough and the other Christian sites? If he can add anything that would help push this forward, I would be grateful for his comments.
