Question 423: To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will consider the problem that currently faces land owners of heritage sites here with regards to them acquiring public liability insurance; if he will make provisions available for them to acquire public liability insurance at the expense of the State, as sites such as the Hill of Uisneach, County Westmeath, are generating tourism and revenue in the midlands and sites like these should be encouraged and enhanced.

My Department has no role in relation to the provision of public liability insurance and is not in a position to assist in the specific case referred to. I would, however, refer the Deputy to the report by the Expert Group established by my colleague, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, to examine and make recommendations on Legal Issues of Land Access for Recreational Use which is available on that Department's website.
