Peadar Tóibín

Question:

577 Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans for the vacant Teagasc site in Navan, County Meath. [10665/12]

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Deputy Simon Coveney)

Operational matters such as this are properly the responsibility of the Teagasc Authority and not the Minister. I am advised by Teagasc that it continues to provide services from its local office on the Kells Road, Navan and that the vacant site in question belongs to the Office of Public Works. The future use of this site is a matter for the Office of Public Works.
