Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what grant was paid to the properties of Gosford Castle hotel, Markethill, County Armagh; if this hotel is still operational; and if he will make a statement on the present status of the grant to this hotel.

Dr. Boyson

Between 1983 and 1985 historic buildings grant amounting to £34,797 has been paid in respect of repairs to Gosford Castle which has since ceased to be operated as a hotel. Further payment of grant is dependent upon satisfactory completion of approved works.
