378. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if the UNESCO recommendations on the publishing of the documentation on the conservation works, at an academic and a popular level, on the Skellig Michael site in County Kerry will be fully complied with; the timeline for the publication of these works; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The report in question is the responsibility of the Office of Public Works (OPW), as managers of the particular World Heritage site referred to.

I understand from OPW that the full record of the conservation works undertaken over a number of years will be published in accordance with UNESCO requirements.

The compilation of the report, which will form a substantial series of volumes, has been prioritised by OPW and has been under way for some time. I am advised that it will be completed as soon as possible.
