985. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the steps she will take to ensure that the remains of the oak wood roadway in Mayne Bog, County Westmeath is fully protected; her views on whether this area of national importance should be placed in the national record of monuments and places list; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 426 on 7 March 2017. Officials from the National Monuments Service of my Department continue to work with both the owners of the bog and the local authority with the aim of preserving intact and uncompromised sections of the togher.
