8. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if the Napoleonic battery fortress on Carrig Island, Ballylongford, County Kerry was taken into the ownership of his Department after independence (details supplied) in view of the fact the land on which it is situated is not registered with the Property Registration Authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to my response to Question No. 28 of 20 May 2020. As I outlined in reply to that question, there are a number of Look Out posts which were invested in me by virtue of the Emergency Powers (No. 315) Order 1944.

My Department has advised me that while there are several Look Out posts in Co. Kerry, it does not appear, based on the properties listed in Folio KY21274, that the one referred to by the Deputy falls within the Department's remit. However, if the Deputy could provide further details in relation to the installation, my officials can investigate the matter further.
