Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Jan O’Sullivan)

There are no proposals with my Department for the regeneration of Ennel Court housing estate. However, provisional approval was given to Westmeath County Council in October 2010 in respect of the reconstruction of four housing units based on a leasing proposal involving the sale and lease back of the properties concerned. I understand that the Council intends to submit a revised leasing proposal involving up 16 housing units in Ennel Court.
