Peadar Tóibín: Go raibh míle maith agat an t-Aire faoi sin. I will pick up on a point made by Senator Warfield about repositories and cultural institutions.

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister had the opportunity to visit Dowth Hall during the blazing warm summer. It was wonderful to see the national monuments that were found at the site, including Neolithic art in stone.
