Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform

The OPW have already engaged with representatives from Donegal County Council and Fáilte Ireland and are in the process of forming a Sustainable Management and Visitor Experience Stakeholder Group for Grianán of Aileach.

After the inception meeting, it is envisaged that a Project plan can be developed. This plan will include clearly defined milestones, meeting dates, and deliverables for 2024 onwards and it would be expected that the Plan would be shared with the elected members of the Inishowen Municipal District. A date for a meeting, if required, can then be agreed.
