Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 May 2004
103 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for Defence if negotiations have been completed with Westmeath County Council to facilitate the relocation of the boundary wall at Columb Barracks, Mullingar, adjacent to Leshe Road; the money which he has allocated for this project; when this work is likely to be carried out; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13602/04]
View answerAs part of a deed of dedication dated July 1997, whereby State land comprising a half acre approximately was made available for use as a public roadway, Westmeath County Council undertook, on a shared cost basis, to rebuild part of Columb Barracks boundary wall at Ashe Road, Mullingar. To date, the council has not proceeded with the work and has recently indicated that the wall in question forms part of the boundary of a protected structure. It has also been indicated that following investigation of the matter the council will be in further communication with my Department as soon as possible.
