I propose to take Questions Nos. 116 and 147 together.

The Government decided that "the Office of Public Works would chair a working group to develop a structured and coherent approach to the further management and development of the site, on the basis that Cork County Council would be asked to continue to discharge site management responsibilities on an agency basis...". OPW is in the process of establishing this working group, which will, in the first instance, comprise representatives from the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, the Department of Defence, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Department of Finance.

Once the group is established, it will review, amongst other issues, its relationship with the group established under the aegis of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
