David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I ask these questions in light of the recent welcome decision by Fáilte Ireland to approve the application by Cork County Council for funding for the Fortress Spike Island project. As the Minister of State is aware, the island is in Cork Harbour. There are three strands to the project: the military history of Spike Island and the Cork Harbour defence, the prison life and transportation stories and an artillery and military equipment display. I am interested in the plans to develop this fantastic resource in the centre of Cork Harbour.
