Answer
My Department continues to fulfil its statutory responsibility to maintain Carrickfergus Gasworks State Care Monument.
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council have responsibility for the gas appliances and artefacts; they remain in situ at the Gasworks.
There are currently no plans to reopen the site to the public.
