    Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (Miss de Valera): At a recent meeting Sligo County Council passed a resolution seeking €126,974 or £100,000 annually from my Department towards the costs of implementing the County Sligo heritage plan. I am not in a position to indicate to the Deputy what arrangements will be put in place to support county-local heritage plans until such time as the proposed national heritage plan has been approved for publication by the Government.
