Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 November 2004
183 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Finance the amount of rent paid to date for a green field at a location (details supplied) in County Kilkenny on foot of an agreement signed in March 2002; if he intends to withdraw from this agreement; if he intends to develop the field for use by a Department or to house asylum seekers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27924/04]
View answerThe Commissioners of Public Works, acting on behalf of the Reception and Integration Agency, have paid rent to date of €490,643.52 for the site in question. This case is before the courts and is scheduled for mention on 30 November to allow time for formal correspondence between the parties about settlement proposals and to allow time for implementation of terms of settlement. In the circumstances, it would be inappropriate to comment further on the licence agreement at this stage.
