Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The conveyancing of the property at Derrynane from the Commissioners of Public Works to Kerry County Council has been a complex legal process. The key issue is establishing title documentation. I understand that the matter has progressed significantly in conjunction with the Chief State Solicitor’s Office and I am hopeful that the contracts can be concluded in the near future.
