756. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will reinstate the road from the jarvey stand entrance via Muckross Abbey to Muckross Hotel entrance in the Killarney National Park as the road has deteriorated substantially and is in need of surface dressing; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department continually reviews the condition of infrastructure, including roadways, in the National Parks and, where funding is available, priority maintenance and upgrading is carried out. While available funding in respect of 2013 works has been fully allocated, a review of the condition of roadways in Killarney National Park is being carried out at present. Consideration will be given in due course to the allocation of monies to any necessary road maintenance works, having regard to available resources and to overall funding priorities in our National Parks.
