Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

The Commissioners of Public Works are fully committed to engaging with all relevant stakeholders including local resident groups in connection with the redevelopment of the Mountjoy Prison site. In light of Dublin City Council recently changing the status of their Urban Framework Plan to a Local Area Plan, the Commissioners intend to instruct their Consultants to contact Dublin City Council's Local Area Plan Consultants, with a view to setting in train a consultative process with all concerned.
