Written Answers. - Departmental Properties.
Following the expected departure of the small number of remaining residents from Beladd Park at the end of this year, some works will be carried out to improve security in the vicinity of the portion of the Midlands Prison boundary which adjoins the estate to prevent further incursions in the area by persons throwing contraband over the prison wall. Regarding the future use of the houses, I have yet to make a final decision on the use to which they may be put but I advise the Deputy that disposal of the property is not in contemplation at this juncture.
