The nucleus of Killarney National Park was bequeathed to the State under the Bourn Vincent Memorial Park Act 1932, to be managed as a national park for the general purpose of the recreation and enjoyment of the public. My Department has received legal advice that it is not open to me, as Minister, to swap or otherwise dispose of the lands covered by that Act.
