1916 monument restoration welcome, but who will pay?

Media reports that the State, through Nama funding, is to preserve and restore the 1916 national monument are welcome. Under the ownership of Chartered Land, it has become derelict and endangered.

But questions about this proposed funding need to be answered.

Who is to be the recipient of the public monies being set aside for restoration? If it is Chartered Land, then the State is rewarding them for their failure to maintain and preserve the monument, contrary to the planning regulations.
