I am particularly disappointed that my question on the need for a co-ordinated approach to the management of the Liffey Valley was not addressed. If we raise Adjournment Matters, I ask that the Departments concerned answer the points raised. I am disappointed that, while the report carried out some years ago was referred to, there was no reply to the key question of co-ordination. The Minister of State has not outlined his views on my questions about co-ordinating the protection and enhancement of the Liffey Valley and whether there is a need for a structure run or co-ordinated by the OPW.

I will raise this matter again on the Adjournment in order to get a reply to my questions. With respect, the Minister of State is replying on behalf of the Minister, but the Department has not addressed the key point in this Adjournment debate.
