I am aware that the closure of the section of Cannings Lane, off Coney Road, which lies in Northern Ireland, continues to be a matter of concern to the residents of Muff, County Donegal.
As the Deputy is aware from previous response on the matter, my Department has raised this issue on numerous occasions with the relevant Northern Ireland authorities and with the British Government through the British Irish Intergovernmental Secretariat. I understand that a way forward on the impasse between the relevant authorities, Derry City Council and the Northern Ireland Department of Regional Development, and the landowner has not yet been found.
Following the Deputy's further inquiry on this matter, my Department again raised the issue with the British Government. A response to the request is awaited. As soon as a response is received, I will make it immediately available to the Deputy.
