Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2013
489. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if any funding is available to republish the self tour guide Exploring Maynooth for Maynooth, County Kildare which has since gone out of print but is in popular local demand; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs the Deputy can appreciate fiscal support for the heritage sector is a matter of competing priorities in these challenging times. Funding allocated to my Department for heritage programmes is fully committed for 2013.
I am advised that the booklet was originally published by Maynooth local history group in 2000 with funding from a programme then operated by the Department of Agriculture – the precursor of the current LEADER programme.
