The Department for Housing, Local Government and Heritage is the parent Department for local authorities, and therefore any funding proposals from local authorities would be submitted to that Department in the first instance. 

I can advise the Deputy that my Department is continuing to engage with Shannon Group to support a smooth transfer of the sites. My Department is also engaging with the Departments of Public Expenditure and Reform, and Housing, Local Government and Heritage as their agreement is required for the heritage sites to transfer as planned by Shannon Group.
