As I stated, an application to the fund the project is with Fáilte Ireland. I understand it will go before the board of that organisation in the coming weeks. I have no doubt that the Minister of State, Deputy McGinley, the OPW and other interested agencies, will be anxiously awaiting the decision by Fáilte Ireland. It is hoped the outcome will be positive given the importance of this project to the region in terms of its history. I hope that Fáilte Ireland will also take into account the importance of this project in the context of the upcoming 1916 centenary.
