Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 July 2006
356 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the annual cost in 2005 for Shannon Development to maintain its vacant factories and industrial units in County Clare; the cost of same for each of the areas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27436/06]
View answerThe issue of property maintenance is a day-to-day issue for the enterprise development agencies of my Department and is one in which I have no direct function.
The figures for County Clare as set out as follows cover maintenance expenditure on both vacant and occupied property. Given the significant number of property units Shannon Development has in County Clare, the sub county breakdown covers Shannon Free Zone / Shannon / Smithstown, and the rest of County Clare. The description maintenance covers landscaping, public lighting, security, staff costs and general building maintenance. Shannon Development does not break down its maintenance expenditure figures between vacant property and occupied property, given the ongoing change to that status as a result of new lettings etc.
