Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brian Hayes)

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 has been establishing title documentation. I understand that the matter has progressed significantly in recent weeks and that contract documents have been returned to the Chief State Solicitor's Office. I am hopeful that the transfer can be concluded shortly.
