Written answers

Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

I am advised that Waterways Ireland is responsible for the management, including ground rent and possible sale, of certain properties, including some of the Canal Lock houses to which the Deputy refers. The Deputy will appreciate that any plans to sell either title or ground rent in respect of such properties would be a matter for Waterways Ireland in the first instance.
