Question 253: To ask the Minister for Finance his views on the provision of lighting for Clare Abbey to enhance its night time view in view of the fact that the route of the new Ennis bypass will make the abbey visible to motorists; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31519/06]

While Clare Abbey itself is in the care of the Office of Public Works the graveyard in which it is located is the responsibility of Clare County Council. Prior to any decision in relation to possible floodlighting of the Abbey, discussions will have to take place with the County Council with regard to the installation and maintenance of the necessary fittings. I have asked my officials to contact the Council in the matter.
