To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Book of Kells iPad app available for download at €11.99, created by Trinity College Dublin, which provides a virtual interface with the book would provide a cheaper alternative than a customised interactive display which is currently being funded by his Department for Kells Town Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
