Emmet Stagg

Question:

423 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the proposed sale of the Batty Langley Lodge and 14 acres of land; if, in view of the importance of reassembling as much as possible of the original Castletown Estate and in further view of the fact that it is unlikely to ever come on the market again, he will consider various options for purchasing the lands in question; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

My Department has been made aware of the proposed sale of the property referred to. For reasons of responsible property management, my Department does not provide advance indications of its interest in particular property acquisitions.
