Porthard church and burial-ground grant
Naughten asked whether lottery funds had been allocated to improvement works at Porthard church and burial grounds. The Minister did not know and said the Deputy could make representations; he could not confirm a newspaper report of an allocation.
Has an allocation been made to carry out improvement works to Porthard church and burial grounds where Doughlas Hyde is buried. Has money been made available for this project and, if so, how much?

I would not have an idea but I am sure when allocations are being made under various headings the Deputy can make representations——

Is the Minister aware that an article appeared in the Roscommon Herald this week stating that moneys have been allocated and that a certain amount has been earmarked for this purpose?

Over the years I have been aware of a great deal of what has appeared in the Roscommon Herald, and I know some of it to be true and some to be false.
