Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

The indemnity agreement provided that the property contribution of the congregations was to be divided into two separate and distinct schedules of properties.

Properties to be transferred from the congregations to the State, State agencies and local authorities after the date of the signing of the indemnity agreement on 5 June 2002: The total value of these property transfers for the purposes of the indemnity agreement was to be €36.54 million. I can confirm that agreement in principle has been reached with the religious congregations on the transfer of properties to the amount of €38.28 million. This figure of €38.28 million includes €4.98 million in cash that was provided by the congregations in lieu of property. The list of properties on which agreement in principle has been reached is attached at list A.

Properties transferred from the congregations to the State, State agencies, local authorities or voluntary organisations between 11 May 1999 and the date of the signing of the indemnity agreement on 5 June 2002: The total value of these property transfers for the purposes of the indemnity agreement was to be €40.32 million. I can confirm that, at this stage, transfers of properties to the value of approximately €32.93 million have been agreed in principle. One further property has been identified which, if acceptable to the State, has the potential to finalise this schedule. Discussions on this property are continuing and should the State agree to accept the property I will provide information on it. The properties accepted in principle to date are attached at list B.

Arrangements for the final valuation and legal transfer of these properties are the responsibility of the individual transferees. My Department will continue to liaise with the various transferees to ensure that all properties on which agreement in principle has been reached are legally transferred.
