Written Answers. - Glasnevin (Dublin) Cemetery.

102. Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Finance if Glasnevin cemetery or any part of it is under the special control or designation of his Department; and his views on whether developments in the vicinity of the cemetery will affect its monument or special designation.

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Dempsey): The Commisioners of Public Works are responsible for the maintenance of the screen wall monument in Glasnevin Cemetery dedicated to the memory of the War Veterans interred there. They are not aware of any developments in the vicinity of the cemetery which may affect this responsibility.

If the Deputy is aware of any proposals which might impinge on the Commissioners' responsibility, he may wish to contact me directly and I will have the matter investigated further.
