Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

The purpose of the information is to alert the House to what has been allowed to happen. I ask the Leader to intervene with the Minister responsible for Dúchas. Perhaps we could have a debate on this and other historic buildings that are not in the state of repair in which they should be.

On a separate matter, I support Senator O'Toole with regard to Rice House in Dingle and the danger of its being lost. The house in question has a long history and is important to Dingle. The Senator referred to the good canon and his efforts and it would be a frightful scata bullán if anything was allowed to go amiss there.
