I propose to take Questions Nos. 428 and 430 together.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) of my Department is aware of the strategy document published in 2006 by several councils in relation to the creation of a Liffey Valley Park. The Steering Group for this strategy involved the OPW, Fingal County Council, Dublin City Council, Kildare County Council and South Dublin County Council. The NPWS is not a member of this group, nor is it engaged in discussions with this group in relation to these proposals.
It should also be noted that, in general, while the NPWS occasionally purchases land for strategic and conservation purposes, details surrounding such matters are considered commercially sensitive and not normally released into the public domain.
