Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Muckross House.

Mr. MacDermot asked the Minister for Finance whether he will take the necessary steps to make Muckross House available as a youth hostel.

Minister for Finance (Mr. MacEntee): No decision has yet been reached as to the future use of Muckross House. I may say, however, that it is unlikely that it will be available for the purpose suggested.

Mr. MacDermot: What has been the cause of the delay in reaching a decision, and what alternatives are passing through the minds of the Government?

Mr. MacEntee: There have been many causes and there are many alternatives.

Mr. MacDermot: I am grateful to the Minister for his illuminating answer.
