The Minister for Finance announced in Budget 2010 that he wishes to mark, in a modest way, the life and work of the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy by assisting a project at the Kennedy Homestead. The Office of Public Works intends to initiate detailed discussions with the owners of the Kennedy Homestead in Dunganstown and with other key stakeholders, such as Wexford County Council, with a view to developing proposals, which could form either specific works or more general support for the Homestead. The Office of Public Works would be particularly interested in identifying projects, which could strengthen the link between the Homestead and the nearby JFK Arboretum. It is hoped that discussions can get under way in the New Year.
