279. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if her Department will help fund a project (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23988/15]

My Department has not received any proposals relating to the project referred to by the Deputy and it is not possible, therefore, to assess precisely what is involved. Whilst it is recommended good practice to conduct studies of the type referred to before contemplating works to a site of this nature, I regret that all funding available to my Department for these purposes in 2015 is, in any event, already committed to other priority work. I am not, therefore, in a position at present to offer assistance to any other projects.

I am considering a small capital grant scheme for 2015 along the lines of those which operated in previous years. I hope to announce details shortly.
