When he was Tánaiste Deputy Varadkar acknowledged the importance of advancing the takeover of the Shannon Heritage sites by Clare County Council. The sites are currently with Shannon Airport, which appears to wish to divest itself of them. Following due diligence, Clare County Council sought €15 million to fund the takeover and the Government offered €2.5 million, which is one-sixth of that. Before Christmas, expectations were raised, particularly among the workforce who have lived with uncertainty for a number of years, but still nothing is happening or at least nothing is publicly happening. Where is that at? Will certainty be brought to the matter before the tourism season kicks off?

I thank the Deputy for reminding me about this issue. As I am sure he will know, Deputy Carey is also onto me about this regularly. I do not have an update on it. I thought some money was allocated last year but maybe that is not the case.

Some €2.5 million was offered.

It has obviously not been fully agreed for this year and future years but I am keen to make sure that it is agreed.
