Question:

114 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands if compensation will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Leitrim as a result of his claim under the Shannon and Erne restoration scheme. [9360/99]

Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (Miss de Valera)

An offer in respect of this case was made by my officials to the appointed agent of the claimant in January 1998. Following direct communication by the claimants family, they were apprised of this fact in August 1998. A response to the offer is still awaited.
