Question:

515 Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for Education and Science if a protected structure (details supplied) in Dublin 1 formed part of the Government settlement with the religious orders and the premises which will be used in the future. [30599/05]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

Number 23 Parnell Square, Dublin 1 — Coláiste Mhuire — was included as a property contribution under the terms of the indemnity agreement with the religious congregations dated 5 June 2002 as the Office of Public Works confirmed to my Department that it was prepared to accept title to the property.

In accepting this property the State will own numbers 22 to 28 Parnell Square. The Office of Public Works is examining proposals for the future use of these buildings.
