In light of the high level of public interest that has been expressed so far in the Plan, and with a view to accommodating submissions from those who may not have had a chance over the initial window to examine the draft Plan in detail, the Dept of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs has extended the deadline for submissions.
