Written answers

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

Contracts in this case were received by my Department only on 4 April last. These contracts are now with the Chief State Solicitor's Office which is examining them to ensure that they are in order. It is hoped to proceed with the transaction as soon as possible after this.
