I am sure Deputy Murnane O'Connor will acknowledge that we made a significant investment recently in County Carlow through the dolmen project, which I am glad has finally been finished. I hope to be able to see it when I go there within the next few weeks. Every Deputy in the House performed a tour de forcerecently in looking for money from my senior colleague, the Minister, Deputy McGrath. I may as well do so now on behalf of the OPW. I ask for any assistance he can give me to find money for Deputy Murnane O'Connor and every Deputy in the House that will come begging for money from me, including the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, who I am sure has a list of OPW projects in Galway. Every shilling the Minister can give me from his good colleague in the OPW, we will only be too glad to spend.

Deputy Crowe is correct that there is a particular problem at Clare Abbey. We have engaged with An Garda Síochána and Clare County Council, which is ultimately the statutory authority that has responsibility for CCTV there. If it could provide that sort of assistance to catch the people responsible for this, I am sure it would be strongly welcomed by the local community.
