View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 429 and 445 together.
I understand that the resolution process , which is seeking to identify a way forward in relation to the complex problems at Priory Hall , remains on going between the relevant parties under the chairmanship of Justice Finnegan. The resolution process arose in the context of the adjournment of an appeal brought by Dublin City Council against an order by the High Court to pay the costs associated with providing alternative accommodation for the residents of Priory Hall. My Department understand s that the appeal to the Supreme Court is due for mention on 18 October 2012.
Given that the matter is before the courts, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further other than to continue to urge all concerned to afford Justice Finnegan the opportunity to complete the task which he is undertaking.
